When a law student asked if newspapers should publish the Danish cartoons depicting the Islamic Prophet Muhammed, Flynt said that every newspaper in the nation should “publish the cartoons tomorrow,” and a “group of towel heads [had gotten] away with intimidating the whole world.” The use of the racial slur drew hisses from some in the crowd...
...garden is a natural source of springtime inspiration. This year designers as diverse as Dutch group Droog and the Danish Design Centre have taken greenery to a new level of sophistication, from a laser-cut umbrella resembling a tree canopy to a glazed vase shaped like large blades of grass. For those who like to bring the outdoors inside, there is a Smith & Hawken moss-covered bunny, and organic herbs that can be planted in the plastic-lined paper bag in which they come...
...magazine, called Studi Cattolici, is not an official Opus publication, but is produced by Opus members. Coming after the outcry over a Danish newspaper's cartoons of Mohammed, there was an almost endearing cluelessness in the magazine's decision to portray the Muslim prophet in perdition.

That, along with the stark, almost abstract staging by director Rufus Norris, gives this London import (an adaptation of the Danish film The Celebration) the hollow, haunted feel of Samuel Beckett, not Arthur Miller. With a strong American cast (Julianna Margulies and Michael Hayden, above), it's the take-no-prisoners drama of the Broadway season...
