...universe, Lucas imagines a world of chaos and political upheaval, that could be, yes, similar to the world of today. SW2:AOTC will leave you shaken, particularly due to the parallels it finds between contemporary American politics and the ever-encroaching designs of the super-evil, ultra-bad and mega-nasty imperialistic Sith warlords, who possess an uncanny command of the Dark Side. The relationship to nuclear proliferation that Lucas draws in this respect is stunningly insightful, and terrifying in its implications...

...close-quarters feel of the Ex while providing twice the seating capacity and retaining the Loeb’s atrocious acoustics. This is a mixed bag, and though I heartily endorse avoiding the temptation the Loeb presents to produce mammoth, overly-ambitious and preposterous casts-of-scores student theater mega-disasters (think: Chess), there is perhaps some as-yet-undiscovered middle ground that the HRDC can reach.

Urban labels like Rocawear, Sean John and Phat Farm, which made their names with warm-up suits and athletic jerseys, are introducing more dressed-up looks in an attempt to expand their customer base and achieve mega-brand status along the lines of Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. Jay-Z, who founded Rocawear with Damon Dash, even sang about the sartorial shift: "I don't wear jerseys, I'm 30-plus./Give me a crisp pair of jeans ... Button up."
