Donald McKayle choreographed the next piece, "Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder," describing the experiences of men on a chain gang in the South in the early 20th century. The dance alternated between scenes of the men at work and sketches of the men's dreams about their sweethearts, mothers and wives. Like "Blues Suite," this work gives the men in the company an opportunity to demonstrate their technical brilliance when dancing in an ensemble...
...Nicaraguan woman from Esteli, in a sworn affadavit, stated, "[the Contras] had gang raped me every day. When my vagina couldn't take it anymore, they raped me through my rectum. I calculate that in 5 days they raped me 60 times." Imagine this woman were your mother, your girlfriend, your sister, or you.

Fainting away at the sight of a youth expiring at her feet, she is carried off by the already enamored George, no doubt eager to demonstrate his frustrated manhood for the sake of his lady in distress. When Lucy awakens, George confesses that "something has changed"--he will never...
...appointed by President Reagan --Martin and Martha Seger--who often wanted to push the economy faster. But in January Reagan named two more members: Wayne Angell, a Kansas banker and economics professor, and Manuel Johnson, a former Assistant Treasury Secretary. That put the Reagan appointees, whom economists dubbed the "Gang of Four," in the majority...
