...PLAISIRS DE VERSAILLES AND ACTEÓN LOCATION: Horner Room of the Agassiz Theatre DATES: Nov. 10 – Nov 12 DIRECTOR: Joshua H. Billings ’07 PRODUCERS: Emily C. Richmond '06 and Michael V. Givey '06Continuing their successful track record after last year’s much-praised production of “L’Orfeo,” The Harvard Early Music Society (HEMS) again impressed audiences with polished artistry in the weekend performance of two operatic works: “Les Plaisirs De Versailles” and “Act?...
Even Warner, 50, a telecommunications tycoon, admits he had a lot to learn when he arrived in Richmond. At first, the Republican-controlled legislature turned down everything he put forward.

...Democrat Party's new strategy of embracing people who practice faith will be exposed for what it is-a ruse." But Kaine, chatting with TIME as voting wound down, said his experience as a missionary was what made him a public servant-as a civil rights lawyer, later as Richmond Mayor and currently as Virginia Lieutenant Governor. "Some Democrats are reluctant to talk about their faith because there's a New Testament tradition of being wary about public expressions of piety," he said. "We share so much about ourselves in this line of work. There's nothing secret about...
