...Even for centrists, conservatives and members of the Alaskan Independence Party, the Election Guide has high entertainment value because Moore is such a fun guy to argue with. Like Rush Limbaugh in his early years, he keeps you alert by mixing humor-tinged facts with deadpan fancy. (Why is Moore not on talk radio?) For example, he posits that the citizens of Iowa and New Hampshire, the first people to decide who the President will be, are actually extraterrestrial replicants of locals kidnapped in 1957. Anti-immigrationists should know that our leaders are being chosen by aliens...
...developing TIME.com into a must-read destination and in launching Time's Style & Design luxury supplement. More than all of that, Ed was a vocal champion of the great journalism that we do every week in the magazine and every day on TIME.com We will miss his good humor and fierce loyalty, but his impact will live on in what we do every day.

Helen Keller, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, child labor, and King Ashoka all make it into the show. Bharatha Natyam as a dance style facilitates storytelling...
...original 1994 production at Primary Stages in New York City. His new production is the result of a collaboration with the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club’s 2008 Visiting Directors Project. The play is at once an overwhelming spectacle of words that simultaneously aims to confuse, humor, and enlighten, without an end in sight. Initially, this constant bombardment is unsettling, for it prevents the audience from ever feeling comfortable with what is occurring on stage and from merely following what is being said. But surprisingly, the production as a whole doesn’t suffer from being somewhat incomprehensible...
