...Aleksii Antedilluvianovich Prelapsarianov, or, as he claims to be, "the world's oldest living Bolshevik." Although Amblad's monologue grows a bit monotonous after a while, he still brings the essence of Aleksii, and of all of Kushner's characters--knee-slapping irony and witticisms combined with genuine emotional depth--to life. He leaves the audience giggling uncontrollably with lines such as "You're practically bugging me," spoken to the closely-following and nearly-blind Serge; and "God is a Menshevik! God is a petty bourgeouse!" in a predeath revelation...
...with her former band, the Banshees, had participated in the early stages of both the punk and goth movements, was still vibrant.

As they tracked it over the next few months, following its development through a vast network of buoys tethered to the sea floor, it slowly expanded up and east, toward South America. Now, like a spume-blowing whale, it has broken through to the surface, forcing temperatures across a 5,000-mile strip of ocean to drop more than 15[degrees]F in just...
Last year, I attributed the missing depth of Peace Games discussions to my own relative inexperience and the sheer difficulty of forming relationships with children in hectic one-hour class times. My decision to spend the summer teaching at an academic summer camp in Mission Hill, a Roxbury housing project, was partly due to my belief that hour-a-week public service was insufficient if I wanted to build lasting or, at least, effective relationships with children...
