...Vatican II meant even more to a generation of devout but restless young people in the U.S. Rather than a course correction, Terrence Tilley, now head of the Fordham University's theology department, wrote recently, his generation perceived "an interruption of history, a divine typhoon that left only the keel and structure of the church unchanged." They discerned in the Council a call to greater church democracy, and an assertion of individual conscience that could stand up to the authority of even the Pope. So, they battled the Vatican's birth-control ban, its rejection of female priests and insistence...

Despite the obvious injustice in Tibet, the prospect of much of mainland China exploding with the kind of hunger riots raging elsewhere is one that features too many human rights violations to count. In that event, the government would have likely no less hesitation in striking out against...
...half.” But, the plot line does feature some clumsy twists. There never is an explanation for the island, and when the smoke monsters and polar bears come in a la “Lost” and we discover that the characters are sitting on a restless volcano, we know that this play is veering off the path of realism. The play pokes fun at its own lapses in logic, and the actors make their characters so much their own that the audience is able to buy into it all. For a play that gives tribute...
