Perhaps the production’s most outstanding element was its costume design, which, though simple, was effective and quite eye-catching. Bright robes with strips of bold gold embroidery worked marvelously for the set, and the emirs and cadis looked so great in their paisley-printed caftans that I was inclined to wonder whether these garments wouldn’t have made a nice addition to my personal wardrobe once the run was over. Kudos to costumers Andrea R. Bomar ’05 and Susan K. Davidson...
...Fein. Blair and Ahern left empty-handed. And Trimble, who's been hammered within the unionist camp for his previous deals with republicans, was derided by his many critics as a "pushover" for failing to penetrate I.R.A. secrecy.

Participants in the Genoa protests recounted how seven different columns of protestors marched...
...behind the Avid Book-Reader sits the silver haired Business Man. Wire rimed glasses, bloody Mary in the middle of the afternoon, cell phone and laptop. Business Man always asks for more peanuts. Crisp oxford shirt, paisley tie. Business Man talks loudly in the airport terminal, to his wife, to his secretary, to himself. Business Man reads Business Week or Fortune 500. Glamourpuss has never touched these publications and therefore has nothing in common with Business Man. Flights next to men such as these tend to seem twice as long as they actually are. Especially if Business Man falls asleep...
