...first half could have been more crisp and energetic, but the cast’s singing more than made up for it. Even though the opera was sung entirely in English, a side-screen displayed the lyrics to the arias. In general, it was sufficient to observe the facial expressions of the singers to understand the lyrics, but in numbers where three or four people sang, the screen was useful.

Despite having a foot and a half in the grave by all reports but the Cuban government’s own, Castro’s charisma, healthy facial hair, and daring sartorial choice of 24/7 combat boots and fatigues have created a larger-than-life image that will almost certainly outlive him.

Its subtle facial expressions are facilitated by Frubber, a patented polymer that simulates facial skin...

As a prelude to the spring offensive for which NATO-led coalition forces are bracing, the Taliban late last year released a 30-point code of conduct for its soldiers, prohibiting smoking, looting, and taking "young boys with no facial hair onto the battlefield or into their private quarters." The movement that once ruled Afghanistan at gunpoint has also written its own version of constitution for the country...
