...Smith trial, the defense will point to statements made by Army Col. Thomas Pappas, the senior military intelligence officer at Abu Ghraib, who has said he had approval from Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Miller, a former commandant of Guantanamo who helped establish interrogation rules at Abu Ghraib. According to Pappas, Miller approved the use of dogs to extract information from detainees.

The next production at the cash-strapped New Burbage Theatre Festival needs to be a hit, and over the objections of director Geoffrey Tennant (Paul Gross), it's Macbeth.

It includesa 15th century illuminated manuscript of Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales and the 13th century casket that once held the relics of Canterbury's martyr St. Thomas Becket, as well as rare objects such as a 5th century sandstone head of the Hindu god Shiva and a 13th century Buddhist plaque from Burma, above.

...contested Currier House Committee (HoCo) co-chair election this Saturday. The arduous race witnessed three rounds of voting—two resulting in ties, and one canceled because of security flaws with the online voting system. With Leng garnering a clear victory in each of the votes, Cullen and Geoffrey D. Kearney ’07 remained in a dead heat until this final election, when Cullen’s total finally exceeded Kearney’s by a significant margin. “The results of this election were not as close as the previous elections...
