...under the direction of Peter Gelb, seems to have gone movie-mad this season. Movie-director mad, anyway. Zeffirelli, the opera and film visionary, has four productions on the season's schedule: La Boheme, Tosca, La Traviata and Turandot. Julie Taymor ? best known for her Lion King on Broadway but also director of the films Titus, Frida and the forthcoming Beatles pastiche Across the Universe ? has condensed her zazzy Zauberflote, which premiered at the Met in 2004, into a 100min., kid-friendly Magic Flute. And Anthony Minghella (The English Patient, Cold Mountain, the current Breaking and Entering) did a rapturously...
...that he expects the CEB to attempt to put on “more consistent, smaller-scale programming this year” in addition to the traditional large events—the next example being Yardfest in April—that have marked previous semesters.

A Boeing MD-82 operated by Lion Air crashed in Solo in 2004, killing 25 of the 141 people on board, and a Mandala Airlines Boeing 737 crashed in Medan, Indonesia's third-largest city, in September 2005, killing all 102 on board and 47 residents on the ground. In 2006 there were at least 15 aircraft accidents in Indonesia, resulting in 14 fatalities. One foreign resident tells of an Adam Air flight last year from...
...materialize, according to Drake. Both Drake and Assistant Dean of the College Paul J. McLoughlin II declined to release the cost of the September carnival. The CEB has also planned a number of smaller events. In addition to the Freshman Costume Catwalk, the board plans to hold a Lion King sing-along night in the Science Center next Monday where free popcorn will be distributed. “The thing that I am pushing for is that it is possible to put on smaller scale events that, while still campus-wide, may not be so big that the whole campus...
