...only Marcus Stern’s ambitious stage adaptation of “Darko,” currently playing at the American Repertory Theatre’s Zero Arrow Theatre, could re-capture that dread. Sadly, Stern’s interpretation, full of manic energy and bluster, doesn’t arrive at any emotional truths and ends up as forgettable fluff, both confusing and confused...
Russia is at the thick of the new game. In an expedition that lacked nothing in patriotic bluster, a Russian-led team descended to the seabed on Aug. 2 and planted a titanium Russian flag directly on the North Pole. In early September, Russian bombers launched cruise missiles during Arctic exercises. But it isn't only the Russians who are staking their claims. On Aug. 10, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper flew to Resolute, a hamlet of 250 souls on Cornwallis Island in the northern territory of Nunavut, and announced plans for an Arctic military training facility and a refurbished...

But frankly they're guessing; after Iraq the White House...
...energy blowing away like dust in the proverbial wind. As a freshman, I was in way over my head. Fresh off Lester Brown’s “Eco-Economy,” a Bible for anti-capitalist environmentalists everywhere, I was full of big ideas and bluster, little of which I really understood. Learning how to navigate Harvard’s administrative labyrinth could be a full-time job, and I just didn’t have that kind of time. After all, I had to pick a concentration and comp The Crimson. The next fall was similar...
