...long as terrorism remains what N.Y.U. Professor of Government Mark Roelofs calls "a popular form of ultimate protest," free societies that choose to remain free will be subject to the risks and fears of violence.

Warns Laqueur: "In ten or fifteen years, terrorists will have the weapons of superviolence; then perhaps even a single person will be able to blackmail an entire town, district or country."

Following the easy jazz shuffles of Sally Greenhouse, Christie Blazo and Elizabeth S-Wilderson--all looking superbly professional in Weiner's choreography--Newcomer's solo section hits the floor on the downbeat whereas the others soar with the upbeat. This sort of subtle difference in expression is possible only when dancers have technique to throw away...
