...dilapidated setup of the Adams Kronauer Space also left much to be desired, especially in terms of lighting and sound effects. The intimate quarters are clearly better suited for a play of less ambitious proportions.

And if clerics have no God-given right to rule, he says, that means that Muslims may freely select their government in a democratic Islamic republic. Kadivar has also formulated a theory on why terrorism...
