...addition to changes in the dramatic aspects of the show, set designer Margaret D. Maloney ’06 has taken liberties with the scenery to emphasize the G&S Players’ “traditionally untraditional” theme. Citing N.C.

REPORTED KILLED. MARGARET HASSAN, 59, director of the relief group Care International in Iraq; apparently by gunmen who abducted her in Baghdad on Oct. 19; as reported by her family and Arabic news network al-Jazeera, which received a video that appeared to show her being shot in the head.

Al-Jazeera, the most-watched news network in the region, received a tape of Hassan's killing but declined to air it to protect the sensitivities of viewers and of hostages' families, according to spokesman Jihad Ballout. Al-Jazeera has shown parts of other executions before, censoring the gore. The network did air the unedited Marine shooting repeatedly. U.S. channels blacked out the actual killing...
