...Employing traditional plesetan wordplay, Punkasila speculate, often quite subversively, on other meanings for these acronyms: Tikyan Ning Idab-Idabi (Poor but Adorable) and Komando Pasukan Suka Susu (Milk Lovers' Force Command). For an exercise in semantics, the resulting CD, Acronym Wars, is ear-splittingly entertaining. And as presented at Darren Knight Gallery alongside military-style musical memorabilia, it's an intriguing cultural artifact. Elsewhere in the show, machine-gun-shaped guitars carved from mahogany stand sentinel alongside bespoke batik military fatigues, which Kesminas says are key "because in a way the project is all about camouflage." All sorts of things...
...drinking," says Okamura, who still has the posture of the middle school principal he once was. "Shochu, whatever. If it's alcoholic, I'll drink it."

Arena tickets sold out in three hours, generating $19 million, a Nevada boxing record. "This could be the night that saves boxing," says Richard Schaefer, CEO of De La Hoya's company, Golden Boy Promotions, which is staging the clash...
...09—one of the two men on campus for whom the issue represents a key campaign promise—is just hitting his stride. Sitting on a couch in the Leverett House Junior Common Room, the lanky Sundquist holds a cell phone to his ear, while conversing with a reporter to his right, and researching HPV vaccines on his laptop. He is preparing for the first of two dinner meetings to be held this evening—one in Leverett, the other in Currier House. But despite the discrepancy in location, the scheduling appears hardly daunting to Sundquist...
