...truly remarkable rendition of the play’s Pyramus and Thisbe scene. Shakespeare’s purposely atrocious play-within-the-play reaches almost sublime levels of comic absurdity, and is the only scene that truly succeeds. John Kuntz—who plays a caricatured version of Peter Quince to perfection—begins the scene by acting out the play with action figures. His madcap energy fully sustains this feat until the other actors take over with even more delightfully embarrassing antics. Walsh’s Pyramus performs an intensely physical death sequence in which he literally throws...
According to the Harvard Taekwondo website, the club was initiated in September 1999 as the "Harvard World Taekwondo Federation" by a group of students now known as "The Fellowship of the Kick." Under the guidance of Master Peter Lee, the team has gone on to dominate tournaments at NYU, Cornell, Princeton and beyond, in addition to doing taekwondo demonstrations at community events and holding kick-a-thon fundraisers each year. The club was renamed “Harvard Taekwondo” in August 2003—and they've been bonding, growing, and kicking ever since...

...Peter Robinson has said he will continue to negotiate with Sinn Fein during his six-week break. But a failure to reach a consensus could cause the fragile coalition to fall apart, which would trigger new elections to the Northern Ireland Assembly. And this may not be good for the DUP. The party's traditional base - rural Evangelical Protestants - has been rocked by Iris Robinson's affair, which may cause some voters to drift toward the anti-power-sharing Traditional Unionist Voice Party or the more moderate Ulster Unionist Party, which recently forged an alliance with the British Conservative Party...
...split of the Protestant vote allowed Sinn Fein to emerge as Northern Ireland's biggest political party. That potential power swing and the inevitable friction between Sinn Fein and rival Unionist groups could see political progress grind to a halt. Such an outcome would also be a disaster for Peter Robinson, who for almost 30 years has carefully steered the DUP away from the firebrand populism of its founder, the Rev. Ian Paisley, to its current position at the top of Northern Irish politics. If he fails to clear his name over the next six weeks, it could mean...
