Charmed I'm Sure is apparently in classic tradition of class plays. Carried by a trivial plot the production at times meanders meaninglessly. But that, of course, is totally irrelevant. The dancing is exuberant and chaotic and therefore perfect. It is reminiscent of rally day at summer camp...
Under Brazil's constitution, the President can petition Congress to declare a state of siege in the event of "grave internal disturbances or when there is evidence that disturbances are about to erupt."

Chiefly because of the holdouts' refusal to help share the costs, the U.N. is $140 million in debt, and Thant...
