...soon resume contacts with Iranian officials of any rank concerning geopolitical questions. Iranian Prime Minister Mir Hussein Mousavi sneered last week that renewed contacts between the U.S. and Iran would be like "relations between the wolf and the lamb."

And no two recent events could serve better as a quick illustration of the political biases of Harvard students...

While it might be argued that Kershishian is making a stylistic point, the starkness of the stage is infuriating, particularly for the concert scenes which beg at least a large slide backdrop of a screaming horde of teeny boppers or some illusion of grandeur. The aural illusion needs a stronger physical complement...
