...singles. Fans of these early releases may initially be disappointed by the LP’s exclusion of excellent tracks like “We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives” and “The International Tweexcore Underground.” The band also unwisely chose to rerecord “You! Me! Dancing!,” their signature song, which loses much of its heart in the process. But “Hold on Now, Youngster…” shows just how far Los Campesinos! have developed in only a few months. The band?...
...forward that dance here at Harvard has taken. Under Bergmann’s guidance, the program has steadily expanded. Claudia F. Schreier ’08, who dances in “fallen,falling,” felt that she would have to put dancing behind her when she chose to go to Harvard over dance school.

In 1980, Mugabe, then 56, inaugurated a free Zimbabwe. Eight years later, Tsvangirai became secretary-general of the Zimbabwean trade-union movement. Outraged by Mugabe's growing tyranny, Tsvangirai's unions broke with the state...
...said. "There's still violence; there's still some traces of al-Qaeda; Iran has influence more than we would like. But if we had the current status quo and yet our troops had been drawn down to 30,000, would we consider that a success?" Crocker, semi-speechless, chose to misinterpret the question, saying a precipitous drawdown to 30,000 troops would be disastrous. But Obama's question was more diabolical. He was saying, Hey, al-Qaeda's on the run, and Iran is probably more interested in harassing the U.S. military than having another war with Iraq...
