...landlord, does not share the typical undergraduate’s view of the wildly popular Mexican eatery. Felipe’s recent application to the CLC for later closing hours (2 a.m. on weekdays and 4 a.m. on weekends) has stalled before ever really getting off the ground. According to CLC’s executive officer Elizabeth Y. Lint, the Commission is “highly unlikely” to extend Felipe’s hours, as the restaurant was recently caught selling a few burritos outside its doors at 2:15 am, in violation of its current permit.

...skewed reality pervades the design of the play. We are confronted throughout by a giant portrait of Lenin painted on a broken wall, gazing down disapprovingly. His stern demeanor is broken, however, by jars (the brain-containing type) placed in alcoves cut out of the wall close to the ground and later, more strikingly, by backlit X-rays of people harmed by radiation, which shine out from Lenin’s formerly implacable face.

Jordan's King Abdullah II has longstanding ties to the U.S. (he went to junior high at the Eaglebrook School in Massachusetts and prep school at Deerfield Academy) and has quietly supported the U.S. war effort, despite its deep unpopularity with the Jordanian public. Jordan is a staging ground for the private contractors supplying and working with U.S. forces in Iraq. More crucially, it is where U.S. officers carry out what is, in Washington's eyes, one of the most vital tasks of the war: the training of new Iraqi military and security forces, whose viability is essential...
Perhaps because of the tricky moral ground--and the potential for bolstering stereotypes--those terrorism scripts include sympathetic Muslims as audience surrogates. In Syriana there is a reformist Arab prince; in War Within, Hassan's childhood friend Sayeed (Firdous Bamji), an assimilated suburban dad, doesn't understand why Hassan can't leave his anger and piety back in the Old World. In its sweeping, 24-like thriller plot, Sleeper Cell depicts a wide range of extremists but also Darwyn (Michael Ealy), a devout Muslim FBI agent who infiltrates the cell and sees its members as foes of Islam...
