Back in Moruongor, as the day gets to its hottest, two men shout that the hand-outs have gone all wrong. "The ones who need food most can't fight for it," says one, Losike John D'Porox. "Widows, orphans, they should be fed first." Then everyone else, he asserts, should be enrolled in food-for-work programs, improving the roads, digging water ponds and farming. "That's what can help people," he says - and he may be right. Long-term, WFP's only way out of Karamoja will come when the region is self-sufficient once again. Getting there...
...Ever Gotesco shopping mall in Manila. At around 1:20 p.m., a group of four men approached his table. They spoke quietly to Burgos for about 20 minutes. Then the men began pushing him toward the mall's exit. "I'm just an activist," a waitress heard Burgos shout. A mall security guard approached the group. As the guard would later testify, the men warned him that they were police officers. They hustled Burgos outside and into a maroon Toyota. As the car vanished into traffic, the guard wrote down the license plate...
...Clinton and Obama have both pledged to support self-determination for Puerto Rico, which appeals to both parties, although Obama has suggested that he supports a constitutional assembly to address the issue, a bit of a shout-out to commonwealthers.

But commonwealthers like former Gov. Carlos Romero Barcelo support Clinton, as does Senate President and statehooder Kenneth McClintock, while the statehooder vying...
...renditions of the show’s most difficult musical numbers. I got the impression, watching “Kiss Me (Quartet),” that the sheet music had simply defeated the musicians and singers. When the microphones aren’t loud enough, the performers have to shout. And when the performers have to shout, they can’t articulate like they need to. I know “Sweeney Todd” nearly by heart, but I’m pretty sure that for first-timers, Friday’s performance was sometimes very difficult...
...quite a long time ago. In the essentials, I am timeless. Harvard’s terrible fashion spurred me into action, and my life here has been defined by combating it. Leggings haunted my dreams. Hunting jackets ruined my waking hours. Hillary Clinton’s pantsuits made me shout expletives at the television in the Kirkland gym. I have tried to empower Harvard women by stressing to them, over and over, how it is possible to look cute while studying, and how dirty pig-tails and light wash jeans are not the answer to any problem. Many a night...
