...with a 26% approval rating. In local elections two weeks ago, Labour took a drubbing, slumping to third place behind the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. Blair has already said he will step down during this Parliament--effectively, no later than 2009--to make room for his heir apparent, Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown. But a third of voters want Blair to go now, and the political village at Westminster is so consumed with succession gossip that his stature shrinks more every...

While “On the Heir,” was overall innovative, the acoustical inadequacies of the Agassiz Theatre combined with the cast’s musical inexperience detracted from an otherwise superb script. Marking the tenth anniversary of the Freshman Musical, the entirely first-year scripted, produced, and acted show ran April 20 to 22. According to the production company, it wasn’t geared solely toward pre-frosh, freshmen, or even Harvard students. A collaboration by writer and director Nathan D. Johnson ’09, producers Allegra M.

...real debate at all on the future of the monarchy in Britain. Republicans want to abolish it, so won't discuss reform. The government won't touch the subject with a barge pole. So what should be uncontroversial proposals, like an end to the ban on the heir to the throne marrying a Catholic, are never discussed.
