...dismissed such calls, but if Zardari and Sharif join forces with some smaller parties, Musharraf may not have a choice, short of a dramatic move, like dissolving parliament. "I am perceiving a rat-and-cat game," says Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, Musharraf's former Information Minister, who lost his seat after 30 years in government. "Musharraf wants to stay in government, whereas the parties are not ready to accept him." This clash of political wills promises a brutal test for Pakistan.

...support public financing of campaigns. Lessig said he will decide whether to make his run by March 1.

However, I have since come to appreciate the garish costumes, bold sets, and powerful singing that make opera unique. Though the Dunster House Opera (DHO) Society’s rendition of “Così Fan Tutte” is a more relaxed interpretation of these operatic traditions, Saturday’s opening night performance was entertaining and carefully composed, successfully bringing the high...
...time you’re at the Delphic, try quoting Benedict (Samuel L. Linden ’10) from Much Ado About Nothing to get some action: “The world must be peopled!” Obviously Harvard students need some help with their game, because every seat in the Eliot Library was filled. Although there were certainly senior thesis writers who worship dear Will, many audience members were just looking for a classier Thursday night than Stein Club (which was appropriately dubbed last Thursday “ValenStein”). One audience member was even overheard saying...
