...Only one character manages to make sense of the suffering, a pilgrim named Luka, brilliantly played by Kieran Fitzgerald '03, who drifts into the inn in the first act and out before the fourth. Luka preaches a doctrine of benevolent suffering in the face of rampant injustice. Luka guides some of the drifters to dream of a better life in a distant future and of helping people in the present instead of drowning in cold, hard realities. Fitzgerald's Luka is gentle and his good humor is radiant. Even with a shock of blond hair he cuts a better wizened...
...post-election postmortems cool off, it's time for Hillary to get to work. What was her first task? Disavowing those rampant White House rumors. And while Clinton has made it (ahem) very clear that even if Al Gore loses Florida, she will not seek the presidency during her first six-year term in Congress, few Washington insiders doubt she's got her eyes firmly fixed on the White House.

Rampant overpopulation, judicial corruption and abuses of child labor, among numerous other domestic ills, are pressing concerns to the Indian people and arguably should inform, if not dictate, certain American foreign policy decisions...
...Otherwise known as the Mel Gibson tutorial in American history. The Patriot is a big, rousing cornball of a movie, rampant with cliches, bombast, and historical inaccuracy. It was also one of the best movies of the summer. Far closer to a colonial Braveheart than the American Revolution of tea and powdered wigs and declarations drawn up with quill-feathered pens, The Patriot is epic in every sense of the word. It's robust form of sweeping, old-fashioned entertainment that knows exactly which buttons to push and has, unlike the much more remote Gladiator, an honest-to-goodness heart...
