...story unfolds, every character, both major and minor, manages to be moving with an unusually high degree of success. As the earnest, caring Father Confessor, Roy A. Kimmey ’09 displayed an extremely powerful musical and dramatic presence; his immediacy brought his character to life. Jessica G. Peritz ’06 as Mother Marie, Caitlin C. Vincent ’07 as Sister Constance and Catherine L. Vaughan ’08 as the Second Prioress perform with similar success...

Willard D’Arcy, the British TV producer who comes up with the idea of the reality show, is regularly described as a manic elf, with “spikey hair dyed royal blue on top with a pink tinge around the sides, gold earrings, and royal blue fingernail polish.” He is Perkins’ idea of a TV’s Austin Powers...

Bush's Energy Secretary, Samuel Bodman, retracted the pledge...

If you cannot criticize or express an opinion about a religion in the modern era, we're in serious trouble...

Finding any artistic representation of the Prophet inappropriate, and that some of these images conveyed disrespect against him and against Islam as a religion, Arab ambassadors in Copenhagen quickly demanded meetings last autumn with Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen. He demurred, making the bulletproof argument that government doesn't control the free press. But it has broken out with new and somewhat mysterious force since a Norwegian periodical reprinted the cartoons on January 10. Arab...
