...Empowerment) is a charitable student organization that educates Boston-area middle school students about theater. In May, however, the group traditionally puts on one full-scale production. Its latest work, Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt’s “The Fantasticks,” is largely a paint-by-numbers show. Directors Laura S. Hirschberg ’09 and Sean P. Bala ’09 chose to stage the play as it has usually been performed since its off-Broadway opening in 1960, striving for the same wistful tone and minimal set that straddle the boundary...
...West, Buddhism is often thought of as spirituality lite, the equivalent of golf to rougher contact sports-except with a better sartorial sense. Certainly, the saffron and burgundy robes, the serene statuary, all paint an exotic picture that brings to mind harmless, crystal-wearing Californians rather than religious fanatics. Our image of a clash of civilizations does not include renegade Buddhist monks. Nevertheless, we should be every bit as worried about the protest marches in Bangkok as those in other countries with different faiths, because the Thai call to prayer is being driven by the same worrying trends: nationalism...

But that one weekend in November is the only time we unite under the banner of Harvard. While we do not and may never have the kind of unity that state schools build from huge sporting events or frat parties, Harvard students...
...Sarkozy then emphasized that repairing the relationship also depends on Washington. As Reynié notes, it was largely the Bush Administration that injected fury into the debate over Iraq, and tried to paint the general European and global opposition to the U.S. push for war as a betrayal inspired by Chirac and France. With that in mind, Sarkozy reminded America that "friendship also means accepting friends can think differently." He then offered an example of that by mildly scolding that "a great nation like the United States must not be an obstacle to the fight against global warming, but rather...
