...romantic comedy about a day in the life of four mental patients, their nurse, and one patient’s husband. Watching it, one can almost see the playwright standing in the wings, waiting for the audience to realize the story’s central message: the characters’ respective neuroses may make their romantic entanglements more absurd, but their thought processes are exactly like those of any “normal” person...
...winner of Sunday's run-off will inherit a strong economy, which grew by 5.6 percent in 2007, the fastest annual growth in two decades, primarily driven by sugar and fruit exports. The Central American Free Trade Agreement with the United States implemented last year should lead to a more than 50 percent rise in foreign direct investment in 2007. And both parties plan to boost competitiveness by promoting foreign investment and trade. But in a country that has the highest chronic child malnutrition rate in the Western Hemisphere and the region's lowest tax rate, the economic windfall...
Perhaps The Crimson Staff missed her central point about pornography being part of the cultural construction of sexuality. MacKinnon directly attacked any assumption that human sexuality springs from some “natural” or non-social wellspring.

I thought my experience in the impoverished areas of Boston had prepared me well for my new teaching post at Central High School. My students in Teach for America’s “Mississippi Delta” placement region are, in fact, similar to those in Dorchester in many ways. They, too, need a lot of help on homework, and they also fight, even though they’ve graduated...
Emboldened by a propaganda victory when the British left Basra, Shi'ite militants have since turned their sights on the Poles and the patchwork of other international forces stationed in and around Diwaniyah. Camp Echo, the headquarters of Multinational Division Central-South, is a virtual Tower of Babel where more than 200 Americans and most of the 900-strong Polish force work and live alongside 100 Mongolians, 62 Romanians, 46 Armenians, 36 Bosnians, 27 Ukrainians, a Lithuanian, a Latvian and a bunch of Ugandan guards. Together they and their numbers posted in urban outposts endure frequent mortar and rocket attacks...
