...humor in this role-reversal on the hackneyed, "Revenge of the Nerds" theme. In this case, surly, plainspoken officers of the law matter-of-factly foiled the scheming scholars’ painstakingly crafted plan. And it is initially hard to find fault in an arrest that might curtail future mass-scale "Star Wars" idolatry. I for one plan to flee this city and never return if the Beacon Hill monument is ever altered to resemble...

...wounds of war in his communist-run native land. But his mission faces opposition from a surprising front - fellow Vietnamese Buddhists. Last week, Nhat Hanh arrived in the former Saigon for a 10-week tour, his second in two years. His plans include a series of three-day Buddhist mass-chanting ceremonies, the first starting March 16, to pray for the dead on all sides of the Vietnam War, unprecedented "Grand Requiem" ceremonies that Nhat Hanh's followers hail as a leap forward in Communist-Buddhist relations...
