...animals' less cuddly habits (infidelity, abandonment of young, occasional cannibalism). But the meerkats are named and given human traits ("courageous," "caring," "bully[ing]"), and their antics and tragedies take place over a sound track.

Tomorrow, the Harvard South Asian Association will bring Bharatanatyam, as well as other South Asian dance styles, to Lowell Lecture Hall in its third annual production...

Instead, the U.N. investigation found at least 91 of the children had at least one parent still alive. Confirming the status of the remaining 12 is taking longer, due to their young age and difficulties communicating...
