...conservative show? Yes, in the sense that the thriller is a conservative genre. Ticking time bombs and pure-evil bad guys make for exciting TV. Working patiently to improve America's image in the Muslim world--not so much. (Maybe Aaron Sorkin could spice it up with an office romance and lots of walk-and-talks.) Muddy a terrorism thriller with liberal concern over root causes and you get Syriana, whose plot audiences couldn't follow with a GPS device. "The politics of the show," says executive producer Howard Gordon (a registered Democrat), "are narrative politics...
...Still, his arrival will give a major boost to the game in the U.S. - not in terms of the level of play, but its profile in the American mainstream. Beckham, together with his wife Victoria (a.k.a. Posh Spice) have between them graced the covers of more fashion magazines than anyone can remember. Their arrival in L.A., a natural home for the perennially bronzed and beautiful couple, gives Major League Soccer its first crossover celebrity, whose very presence in America is likely to give a significant bump to interest in and attendance at its games.

Sievert says many of the insights they're gathering extracurricularly while researching mock resolutions inform the class discussions, adding intellectual spice to the sessions she flavors with student-produced Power Point presentations and documentary screenings, as well as reading assignments from foreign affairs journals and memoirs of genocide survivors. Barrett required students to attend an on-campus debate on the Arab-Israeli conflict he organized between a Muslim cleric...
...keep our fingers as far away from our food as possible. But for those whose natural instinct is to dig in and get real with your meal, I heartily recommend Asmara. Opened in 1986, Asmara was Boston’s first Ethiopian and Eritrean restaurant. Although their spices and preparation methods are similar to those used in Indian cuisine—to choose a more familiar reference—no one would confuse the two cuisines. Ethiopian and Eritrean food is eaten with a steamed flatbread called “injera” — and no silverware. Platters...
