...Agamemnon is riveting in his tortured grandeur; his rage and despair tears through the scenery. As Clytemnestra, Erica R. Lipez ’05 swings plausibly from vengeance-crazed virago to shrill housewife (one of the production’s conceits is the coy use of Americana nuclear-family trappings). Lauren L. Jackson ’07, as the Leader of the Furies, exudes menace and dances wonderfully; Scottie Thompson ’05, as the doomed Trojan seer Cassandra, is eerie and compelling. Sara L. Bartel ’06 knows how to tug heartstrings while also conjuring...
...possibly the first time in his career, Jerry Springer is acting coy. The famous (and infamous) TV talk-show host is considering a campaign for Governor of Ohio.

His recent interviews, in which he sounds reflective, somber and eerily father-like, seem to support this...
...Unusually for the time, they were also high tech. "The first thing we did each night when we pitched camp was to set up our computers and sat phones," says Jamal, a former explosives specialist for Khattab. Basayev, Jamal recalls, liked to read on the Web. Basayev is coy about possible connections with al-Qaeda now. He has adopted a cell-like structure for his network of fighters, and his men include a sprinkling of foreign mujahedin from the Middle East and Europe. But in a message posted on the Web claiming responsibility for the Beslan siege, he said...
