...function as a dance space, as a theater space, as a space for installations, as a soundstage. I once saw a production in Budapest a few years ago of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in which the audience was seated on 500 individually hung swings, and the hemp that was used to hang the swings became the farce of Shakespeare’s play, and that was on night one; and all those swings were bussed up to the grid. The next night, there was a very realistic play, it took place in an operating room; the following...
George W. Bush--whose party received more than $10 million from the auto industry during the 2002 election cycle--appointed Runge, so you know he's not padding around NHTSA's headquarters in hemp sandals.

With nothing to eat or drink and plagued by choking dust, entire villages and towns have emptied. "Whole parts of the country are turning into desert," says Brequeville. "And that's irreversible?there's no way back from the desert...
...hide and sleep." Shakur has given up blaming anyone for Deh Naw's troubles. He knows the landowners for whom he once worked the fields around Deh Naw are the same people who now deprive that land of water for the sake of greater profits in the hemp-rich hills. But after 23 years watching a succession of conquerors?the Soviets, the Taliban, and now the Northern Alliance and the Americans?come and go, he has learned to focus on survival. "I don't know about governments or armies or landowners or chaars," he says. "All I know is sand...
