...creates awkward problems for the governments that figured they could get by without votes of their own. French President Jacques Chirac in particular is now under pressure to give his stroppy voters their say, and they may well say non. Blair's move is a "big risk," said Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel, "because domestic politics could very easily get mixed up with a fundamental European question, and that is always dangerous." But Blair hopes it will at least get him through the night. The public's trust in him has taken a beating from the Iraq...
...authority, officially at least, stops calling the shots in Baghdad and gives way to some form of transitional government. In early June, Bush is scheduled to fly to Normandy to mark the 60th anniversary of the D-day invasion. There he will meet French President Jacques Chirac and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder, the two most persistent critics of the war among U.S. allies.

Spitzer, as the Lord Chancellor, wears a constantly pained look at his moral dilemma and is also one of the more convincingly old men I have seen portrayed by college students. The selfless Iolanthe, played sweetly by Maccoby, displays completely genuine goodwill toward the world. Moss and Lareau, playing the two young lovers, are cheerfully...
...choreography, by Amanda M. Gann ’06, is another standout feature of this production. Some of the moves are dubious (Private Willis attempts to dance the Macarena to his solo), but most are strong, like the comically half-hearted and self-conscious dance leaps by the Lord Chancellor and Strephon, the Lord Chancellor’s fluidly shifting nightmare scenarios, or the tensely balanced face-off between the Lords and the fairies in the House of Parliament...
