...line.Paradise boiled down to a jejune rant against commercialism. It was in Dante’s Purgatory that the play became overtly politically charged. In Hell, a series of perplexing, abstract torture sequences involving puppets and the reading of an interrogation log served to honor the prisoners of Guantanamo Bay. While the material addressed was of the utmost gravity, these scenes were slow-paced and excruciatingly drawn-out. What should have been moving was soporific. And for all its intentional weirdness, “The Divine Reality Comedy” still managed to be predictable.The Bread and Puppet Theater brought...

But despite sloppy moments in the first half, the Crimson never fell out of contention completely. An Emma Markley layup knotted the game at 44-44 with 10:13 remaining in the half, and a crowd left stunned by a feisty Penn squad finally began to stir. But then Penn...
...flight teams in the last five years, from the $218 million that Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich found for London club Chelsea in 2003, to the $1.4 billion shelled out for Manchester United a couple of years later by U.S. tycoon Malcolm Glazer (owner of the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers). The investors' goal: to score a slice of the richest soccer league in the world. Buoyed by rising broadcast revenues and a lucrative fan base swelling from the U.S. to Asia, the 20 teams in English football's top league netted some $2.5 billion in revenues during the 2005/6 season...
