...heard that about George Bush too, and I totally disagree. I will not give myself that kind of credit. I think what we are able to do is allow people to see a side of a person that you wouldn't normally see, and you either relate to that...
...puzzled by the insistence that there is a fully organized al-Qaeda--type organization behind the Muslim fanatics who are bent on purging the Middle East of Western influence. Why credit al-Qaeda for every fanatic's act? The facts are simple: there are many disenfranchised Muslim males who see the U.S., Britain and their allies as intruding on sacred Muslim ground.

Orbitz now allows groups to buy as many as nine tickets at a time, instead of the usual four...
Sometimes the classics really are the best; Quincy House Drama Society’s no-frills production of William Shakespeare’s All’s Well That Ends Well was a highlight of the season. Much credit is due to graduate student Brett W. Gamboa for his choice of play; All’s Well is one of the most undeservedly neglected pieces in Shakespeare’s canon. Its unsatisfying resolution and prickly comedy may make it unpopular among directors, but it is a sure delight to audiences...
