...death, abandonment, love, religion, and truth. Friday’s opening on the Loeb Mainstage—directed by Sara L. Wright ’09—overflowed with a vitality that managed to make these overdone themes appear refreshingly novel.The three-hour-long piece (schedule your dinner plans for before curtain call!) is a series of interconnected stories of individuals wrestling with deviant identities in Reagan-era New York City. The floor design—a white web of sorts—mimics the interwoven nature of the narratives; streaks of red and blue remind the audience...
...Saturday night, Barack and Michelle Obama will share a private dinner in romantic Prague, but elsewhere in the Czech capital, the President may find the ambience somewhat more chilly. Whereas the Czech Republic might once have been the most unquestioningly loyal of Washington's post-Cold War allies, Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek's comment last week that President Obama's economic stimulus plan is "a road to hell" underscores the fact that Czech support for the U.S. leadership is no longer a certainty...
...Obamas' private dinner may, in fact, be a way of avoiding political awkwardness in the Czech capital: They will not be joining President Vaclav Klaus (a skeptic on global warming) at a state dinner; nor will they be sharing delicious Czech lager at an informal pub visit with Topolanek, whose government collapsed a day before his comment about Obama's stimulus inferno.

Later, for dinner, I'd go to Le Petit Bofinger, tel: (33-1) 4272 0523, at Bastille, just across the way from the famous belle époque Brasserie Bofinger. It's roomy, but not too expensive, with a great wine cellar and good traditional fare. I'd have their foie gras to start...
...sauce. Served with rice, it ought to be accompanied by Chinese water spinach, cooked in a chili-infused shrimp paste known as belachan. For dessert, go for the sago gula melaka, a mixture of boiled sago, warm coconut milk, palm sugar and shaved ice. The cost of an average dinner for two (without alcohol) is around $50, a modest tariff for food that is invariably sedap. That's Baba Malay for "delicious," and a word that will hopefully live for a long time...
