...women run the place. A mother in her early 30s with bright gold earrings and bright gold teeth talks teasingly with Mittermeier. He asks to take her photograph. She poses, sitting on the steps of her hut. As Mittermeier raises his camera, she gets a saucy look in her eyes, drops her colorful blouse, which was tied at her neck, and shows herself in full, confident power. Everyone laughs, but everyone also gets the picture...
...Little Mermaid, Aladdin and The Lion King (and for that matter, Gone With the Wind, Star Wars, Forrest Gump and Hamlet), this is a coming-of-age story, a tale of youth pressed into troubled maturity during a national cataclysm. As for the film's basic plot--a bright misfit goes undercover to save his people from foreign domination--it's pure Mulan. You'll also find echoes of Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 essay in panoramic kitsch, The Ten Commandments (including the climactic Red Sea parting), and its Oscar-laden sibling, the 1959 Ben-Hur (including the chariot race...
Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor, Opus 54 opened the evening with bright and pleasant fervor. According to the program notes, this particular concer-to--like a good deal of his other pieces--was composed for Schumann's wife Clara, who performed as the soloist during its premeire on Dec. 4, 1845.

...prestige as the badge of success in their search for the Harvard of jobs--the perfect company name to put on their resume above their college degree, for example--are equally misguided. When we graduated from high school, our friends and relatives pledged to keep our autographs for that bright day when we are all elected president of the universe. Facing another graduation, many still feel that pressure to succeed, or have internalized it. But what students rarely learn is that success is not related to prestige or money. Now may be a good time to pause on the ladder...
