Still, the initial reaction remained muted. Two weeks after the appearance of the cartoons, Muslim leaders organized a mostly peaceful demonstration of 3,500 people in Copenhagen, demanding that the paper issue an apology for the drawings.

But the tempest might have remained a largely local dispute had Prime Minister Rasmussen not compounded the editors' intransigence by refusing to meet with the ambassadors of 11 Muslim countries to discuss the cartoon flap. "This was a major mistake," says Denmark-based Bashy Quraishy, president of the European Network Against Racism. "I have never in my long...
...even in a traveling circus.In an unlikely turn of events, Mallardi’s reputation for visceral, inventive, and unabashedly artistic dance caught the attention of Radcliffe, an institution whose wealthy and straight-laced reputation seemed inimical to Mallardi’s style, in 1965.

Through the first four listens, I was disappointed with the album; by the seventh, I had fallen in love with the band again.
