...French actress. And just then Luc Besson, the French director who served as the president of this year's jury, bobbed his head in front of the microphone and hummed a few bars from a plaintive song. The tune was from the winning film, whose name Besson finally pronounced: "Dancer in the Dark...
...have worked as a wedding and portrait photographer and as a cameraman for the state TV service, spending time in jail for anti-government activities before finding himself, in 1991, a guest of regional mischief-maker Colonel Muammar Ghaddafi. The Libyan leader persuaded Sankoh and former hairdresser and nightclub dancer Sam "General Mosquito" Bockarie to form the Revolutionary United Front and fight Sierra Leone's government.

War Chant gets blinkers tomorrow, and is equally capable of a misstep as he is of a money run. Although War Chant has never run outside California...
...bands at various campus venues (including the Advocate, which sponsored the Cabaret along with the Signet Society, the Association of Black Harvard Women and the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters' Alliance), but created one of the most striking pieces of the evening in a unique performance with improvisational dancer Jessica Kaye '00 and poets Janel Moore '00 and Wilson. Improvisation was central to many performances, including breakdancers Tri Phuong '02 and Chhay Chhun '02, the sometimes bewildered and bewildering stand-up comic Anwar Floyd Pruitt '00 and a number of stand-out freestylers including Kellogg himself. Kellogg called...
