Several student audience members even left at intermission, perhaps feeling ill-suited on that particular evening to deal with the sardonic musings of deeply unredeemable characters. However, the majority of the audience not only stayed but remained utterly captivated by the show, and were among some of the first to sign up for Pig Iron’s mailing list...
...hostile corner of the capital, Mogadishu, with no way out. Just two days earlier, a U.S. medical team had flown out of Somalia to Landstuhl with a planeload of injured servicemen, leaving behind a skeleton staff in the 40-bed battlefield hospital. "There was no system to fly critically ill people in the air; we had to create it on the ground," says Colonel John Holcomb, one of only two Army surgeons left in Somalia that day, which was memorialized in the film Black Hawk Down.

...this one, the Faculty has some very good reasons to be skeptical. Gen Ed’s recommendations were at best uninspiring and clumsy—like changing the Core to a system of distribution requirements and ill-defined “Harvard College Courses”—and at worst of dubious educational value—like requiring students to have an “international experience” before graduating. If other committees’ less-than-stellar recommendations get the treatment Gen Ed’s have gotten—and, given the Faculty?...
