Riflery has never asked the department for anything. Now, it is being asked to maintain a University facility--or perish. "It's as simple as this," Coles said. "If there is no money, there is no range. This...
...Island is about two political prisoners in a cell on Robben Island, the infamous prison island off the coast of South Africa. John and Winston still try to maintain their dignity and humor despite the deadening fatigue and hard-labor in the quarry. The main action of the play is their effort to stage Sophocles's Antigone in the prison.

Their staging of Antigone shows...

There are other important reasons for the U.S. to maintain its power in Asia. It has sea-lanes to protect and a western frontier to guard. Above all, there are the non-Communist countries of East and Southeast Asia that have been allies of the U.S. in the past and that the U.S. can now, in the post-Viet Nam atmosphere, assist in new ways.
