...under the direction of M. Amelia Muller ’11. No sets and props are impressive or revolutionary, but their symmetry, harmonious colors, and moderate lighting render them all pleasant. The shadow silhouettes on the background wall are effectively executed; the visual factors of the play remain fairly quiet as well, never detracting from the action on stage, save for one moment. In an unfortunate set decision, the barricade blocking the entrance of the cave to hell goes flying, awkwardly disrupting the rhythm of the show. But unlike the soundtrack of “The Flies...

The Elysée has backed a move to appoint Sarkozy's son Jean to head the administration managing the business district La Défense. Jean is just 23 and a little over a year into his law degree. Appointing him to such a high-profile position smacks of nepotism, cronyism and regal high-handedness, say Sarkozy's critics. "Who for an instant thinks that the nomination of a boy entering his second year of legal studies to the presidency of an institution that manages...
