...doggedly naturalistic, antidramatic approach here, which is admirable but enervating. The conflicts are almost entirely between Che and his men, between the platoon and their forest environment. Spending up to a year in the jungles of either Cuba or Bolivia, the soldiers seem trapped in some tropical Blair Witch Project, stripped of the scary bits. And forgive me for asking, but with all these young men separated from their girlfriends for such a long time, why (with one rapacious exception) do they never express any interest in women? The movie lets you infer that they're bearded Boy Scouts...
...administrators. Schwartz and running mate Alneada D. Biggers ’10 also call for a coordination of cross-registration between the University’s schools and other colleges. Current UC president Matthew L. Sundquist ’09 said a Council can realistically have only one major project in a year.

...swathes of support - and, after ceaseless political pressure from their cadres, both are now free from detention and contesting the upcoming polls. Initially, the caretaker government attempted to encourage prominent figures from civil society to form a "third way" to break from the country's two-party system. That project failed, as did efforts to weaken the begums' networks of patronage that assured their grip on power. After two years out in the cold, Hasina or Zia could very well snatch the reins again, and perhaps roll back the charges leveled against them and key allies...
...Noria Mashumba, a Zimbabwean senior project officer at the Centre for Conflict Resolution in Cape Town, predicts that Zimbabweans will take matters into their own hands. "This cholera epidemic is really the last straw," she says. "The government is not going to be able to back away from this." But Vines sees little hope for a rebellion. "The population is fatigued, most of the middle class has left, energy is very low, and Zimbabwe's population is anyway very conservative," he says. "On top of that, the paradox of the cholera epidemic is that the outside emergency aid it attracts...
