...situations are never static, as Dor Yeshorim's history shows. The program continues to expand its scope. As Samuel Lefkowitz, a consultant with the project, asserts in The New York Times, the organization aims to someday test for "anything possible...
...like Luis able to avoid the immigration laws with such impunity? The answer is that the INS is simply outmanned: with 6,000 miles of open borders, a burgeoning population of illegals and a relatively static force of only 5,600 agents, the U.S. has effectively lost control of its territorial integrity, especially in the Southwest.

...less united than a mural is, but portable. Migration has the effect of a visual ballad, with each painting a stanza: taut, compressed, pared down to the barest requirements of narration. No. 10, They Were Very Poor, takes the elements of a Southern sharecropper's life down to the static minimum: a man and a woman staring at empty bowls on a bare brown plane, an empty basket hung on the wall by an enormous nail -- the sort of nail you imagine in a crucifixion. There isn't a trace of the sentimentality that coats Picasso's Blue Period miserablisme...
...eccentric, this staging of Timon is a vast improvement over what preceded it: in the first season a murky, static staging of The Crucible, a labored, lumpen version of a Feydeau bedroom farce and a rendition of Ibsen's The Master Builder about which even Randall, who directed, can't find anything good to say; in the much improved second season, an intelligent, revisionist reading of The Seagull, a solid (and Tony-nominated) Saint Joan and the George Abbott comedy Three Men on a Horse, with Randall supremely skillful if utterly miscast as a husband...

Feroza's uncle, Manek, brings her to Cambridge, where he is a student at MIT, after giving her a whirlwind tour of New York. Sidhwa's account of Harvard Square is especially appropriate considering that the Boston area has become the definitive American landscape in which many of these `new' immigrants--foreign students--are finding themselves. The glimpse of Feroza sitting...
