...image of the fantastical nature of evil in its wake. Based on the trial of former Romanian dictators Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu and held together by a thick mixture of absurdity and Eastern European accents, the American Repertory Theatre’s world premiere of “The Communist Dracula Pageant” creates an image of madness that is both entertainingly and shockingly outlandish.The players will perform this unbelievable truth through Nov. 9. The audience is told near the beginning that “with the exception of rumor, everything here is fact. Apart from all the very...
...that the tacit assumption, in the classroom as well as outside it, is that everyone is liberal. Why is this? Perhaps because Harvard is located in the People’s Republic of Cambridge in the heart of blue Massachusetts: the sort of community whose Oktoberfest parade features a Communist marching band and an elaborate float of pigs strapped to lipstick rockets. But the Harvard student body comes from all over—even from red states. More than 25 percent of the class of 2012 hails from the traditionally more conservative Midwest and South. In fact, Harvard?...

That all changed a few years ago when geologists estimated that between 5 billion bbl. and 10 billion bbl. of oil lie beneath the waters off Cuba's northwest coast. Suddenly it seemed as though the hemisphere's sole communist nation might finally end its desperate dependence on oil-rich allies like the former Soviet Union and Venezuela - and perhaps even escape its impoverished economic time warp altogether...
...analysis is based on what he calls a more accurate comparison of similar maritime oil fields like those off Mexico's Gulf Coast. "We're talking about that magnitude," he argued last week. "We have more data" than the USGS. But Cupet, an arm of Cuba's ultra-secret communist government, hasn't offered much more evidence than that. Chris Schenk, who as USGS coordinator in the Caribbean led the 2004 survey, agrees that Cuban geologists "are very good." But he adds, "We would like to see more data." Still, Schenk notes, because of the embargo and Havana's insular...
