...week to the lawns of the White House and the difference couldn't be more palpable. India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the guest of honor at the first-ever official state dinner in the Obama era, was feted in an atmosphere of easy conviviality, surrounded by a bubbly cast of celebrities and power brokers who toasted the bonds between the world's largest democracies.

...bomb attacks and assassinations and ordered the killing of suspected traitors. There was nothing intellectual about such work. In an interview with TIME in early 2007, Zuma summarized his revolutionary ideology in one short sentence: "I was oppressed."

...fact the whole cast is, perhaps not surprisingly, very talented. Klyce’s portrayal of Bat Boy is particularly remarkable; his arms and legs contort through most of the show into the sharp angles of a bat’s claws and legs in a performance that conveys a particularly strange animalistic posture with amazing naturalness. As the show progresses, his stance adjusts in an impressive expression of humanity through body language, and his voice transforms from the gargles of playful stupidity to the more articulate confusion of one bewildered but generally prepared to cope with the strangeness...
