...performance in the programming office did not translate as well to the stage. The fascination in this particular ballet lies in the buildup to the climactic fifth movement: as Phillip Glass’ music becomes more and more dramatic and exciting, the dancers drop clothes and spiral out of control in a frenzy of ecstatic and hopeless passion. But without the context of the first four movements, the fifth and only one presented looked too easy, and the dancers looked too happy, for Tharp’s imagination to come to life.

...efforts have turned out well. Some diplomats believe the solution he helped draft to the Kosovo war in 1999, which stipulated that Kosovo remain under Serbia's control, left the problem unresolved and sowed the seeds for the recent flare-ups between the West and Russia in the Balkans and Caucasus. "It was not a good deal. We should have gone all the way," says a U.S. diplomat familiar with the compromise. Ahtisaari has also been criticized for supporting the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, which he did on humanitarian grounds...
