...artistic inspiration was his family's only book: an illustrated copy of the Shahnameh, a 10th century Persian epic revered in Afghanistan. The Taliban co-opted the poem's hero, Rustam, as a propaganda figure, telling Afghans that they, like him, were winged heroes endowed with arrows to defeat evil. Ali's phantasmagoric show, "Rustam," features a devil-figure with horns, wings and the unmistakably Pashtun features of many Taliban. Occasionally, an Arabic numeral floats mid-frame, a nod to Ali's earlier works, which riffed on Afghan schoolbooks that taught counting and reading through the language...
...Utpal Sandesara ’08 said. Sandesara added that, while the talk was motivational, he felt Tutu somewhat over-simplified the dichotomy between justice and injustice. He cited Tutu’s attempt to explain the current situation in the Middle East in terms of absolute good and evil. “His framework is a very different one,” said Yinliang He ’08. “It’s beyond argument and counterargument.

Kijewski ’11, eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adorned with loincloths and fig-leaves, they made resounding crunches from apples for added emphasis. Over the course of the night, the nearly two dozen participants whittled down to the eight remaining iron-willed members. These poetic marathoners, after journeying from Man’s first disobedience to Adam and Eve?...
Every November, Harvard and Yale attempt to set up the impending Game as an epic battle of Good vs. Evil, Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader, or Plucky Underdogs vs. Bulldogs. But every year the actual struggle seems more like Hatfield vs. McCoy, Montague vs. Capulet, or Luke vs. That Masked Vader-Like Figure in Empire Strikes Back That Actually Turns Out to Be Luke’s Psyche (Or Something). Are we just fighting ourselves? Or is this indeed an epic smackdown between the representatives of two vitally different ideals...
