...Highlight Reel: 1. On the first Scarface, Howard Hawks' 1932 adaptation of the Armitage Trail novel: The film faced considerable censorship challenges from the Hays Office, which oversaw the industry's Production Code. In fact, two different cuts of the film were eventually created, and individual states could decide which version should play on their screens. "Accused of being too violent, plagued by censorship problems, scripted by a flamboyant writer, and starring an actor who sometimes went over the top on his accent - remind you of a movie we know? The 1932 Scarface both dovetails and diverges from its sequel...
...Another Crist dividend: Kurt Browning, his appointed secretary of state, who oversees elections, is actually an elections-management professional. Few can forget the secretary of state under Jeb Bush, Katherine Harris, who oversaw the 2000 recount. Harris, Florida's last elected secretary of state, had no elections expertise and looked all but clueless when the chads hit the fan. Worse, her pledge of impartiality seemed laughable given that she was the George W. Bush campaign's Florida chairwoman.

...country, by the technocratic minister of Education, Hanif Atmar, has rankled many. The recent surge in violence may be seen as a "test" for the new minister, say some.

What remains to be seen, however, is whether he can bring the kidnappers to justice. His next task will be to stop a new round...
...management structure, separating referee oversight from its general basketball operations and dedicating a specific person to work with the refs full-time. Johnson occupies a new post in the NBA hierarchy, as senior vice president of referee operations. Former NBA coach and general manager Stu Jackson, who ostensibly oversaw the refs in addition to his myriad other responsibilities as the league's executive vice president for basketball operations, is now free to focus on other matters. "We finally have somebody who is just ours," veteran ref Crawford says. "Before, we had people that had 7,000 hats...
...identity is a sham. The only thing missing from this ambitious interpretation of Mac Wellman’s play “The Hyacinth Macaw”—is subtitles. Yes, they would have been much appreciated.Director Marcus Stern, an Associate Director at the American Repertory Theatre, oversaw the play’s original 1994 production at Primary Stages in New York City. His new production is the result of a collaboration with the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club’s 2008 Visiting Directors Project. The play is at once an overwhelming spectacle of words that simultaneously aims...
