Romance, drama, espionage, ABBA, and...chess? The 1986 rock musical “Chess” features all of the above and the Murray Head hit “One Night in Bangkok.” The brainchild of Tim Rice and ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, a Harvard production directed by Sean P. Bala ’09 will run through Dec. 7 in the Adams House Pool Theatre. The musical adds intrigue to what might seem like just another high-intensity, mind-boggling (or, to some, simply boring) game by using...
...keep a lid on this potentially very dangerous situation, Rice, Admiral Mike Mullen, and other U.S. officials have to come up with a formula that does several things at once. First, it would have to satisfy India's need to be seen to be responding to the Mumbai atrocities; at the same time, it has to prevent a confrontation with Pakistan that jeopardizes the U.S. effort in Afghanistan; and finally, it must avoid provoking a domestic political crisis in Pakistan that could bring down Zardari's civilian government.

This was despite the claims of an anonymous American defense official in the New York Times linking the militant Islamist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which allegedly trained the Mumbai attackers, to ex-officers in Pakistan's intelligence service. Indian officials believe that the LeT masterminded these attacks, as well...
...Rice has urged Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari and his government to act "with resolve and a real sense of transparency" in dealing with the terrorist groups Pakistan harbors. Zardari, for his part, denied having received any evidence of Pakistani involvement. But the civilian government in Islamabad, like almost all others before it, wields little real power in a state that has always been dominated by the military. "Zardari's government was born with its hands tied," says B. Raman, a noted Indian commentator and columnist...
