One tribal official in Jamrud told TIME he knew of an al-Qaeda fighter living in the hills of Waziristan who was paying $750 a month for a simple, mud-walled house that ordinarily rented for less than $80.

While the play is set in modern dress, and the Lords wear inoffensive suits, the fairies wear a ridiculous array of rags that seem to have been bought for a dollar a pound at a consignment shop and then dragged through the mud several times. The result is suitably strange, but also a little baffling; why would the aristocratic and starchy Lords marry women who look like mentally disturbed paupers? It’s even stranger when you consider that Iolanthe and the Fairy Queen (Johanna S. Karlin ’05) are dressed according...
