...Antony's Rome is equally unexpected. Triumvirate members Antony, Caesar and Lepidus meet around a heavy, morbid table behind a map of the Mediterranean region painted on the floor. The room has no walls, and one imagines it, like any proper war room, to be smoke-filled and poorly-lit. Like the soldiers in HRDC's fall production of Macbeth, members of Caesar's forces are dressed in tuxedos...

But it has, at the very least, ended the sway of decline theorists and the "limits to growth" crowd, ranging from the Club of Rome Cassandras to more recent doomsayers convinced that America's influence was destined to wane...
...clone a human being, a possibility Wilmut finds dismaying. The father of three argues that it is every child's birthright to be regarded as unique, not a counterfeit version of someone whose strengths and shortcomings have been revealed.

Check out the holiday's history: Dec. 25 wasn't chosen because it was the date on Jesus' birth certificate but because that was the time of the ancient Saturnalia, when all of Rome poured into the streets for days of public revelry. Even Christianity couldn't take the urge for orgies out of Christmas. In Europe's Middle Ages, the holiday was celebrated by troops of costumed people going door to door, dancing in the streets, drinking to excess and indulging in a favorite...
