...make real progress on eradicating the disease. In Mozambique, Together Against Malaria brings Christian and Muslim leaders together to utilize religious infrastructure to improve access to malaria prevention measures. In Nigeria the same is being done by the Nigerian Inter-faith Action Association, which will help distribute 60 million bed nets in remote parts of the country that are inaccessible to government agencies...
...insult a girl in the style of the French revolutionaries, calling her “a stained bordello bed sheet”—as stage prompter Simon does to one of his conquests—might do the trick. Memorable lines like this one hint at the sex and violence of “Danton’s Death,” the Georg Büchner drama which runs on the Loeb Mainstage through April 10.

People under 18 are already exposed to UV radiation on a daily basis, so banning tanning bed use would be like banning frolicking in the sun for extended periods of time without sunscreen use—a clearly ludicrous idea. To some extent, the absorption of harmful UV rays are a more natural part of our existence on this planet, unlike tobacco and alcohol consumption, so a ban on tanning...
