...ideology by presenting itself as socially engaged," Funke says. "But it is definitely a neo-Nazi party." The NPD is reviled in Germany. When the party's Saxony leader, Holger Apfel, appeared on a nationally televised panel show on the night of the election wearing a brown business suit, politicians from other parties walked off the set. The next day, protesters showed up in Dresden, the state capital, with signs reading nazis out. Even in the east, the party's support may be shallow. Hans-Joachim Maaz, a political commentator in the eastern city of Halle, says it's important...
Before Christophe Echeverri decided to spin his postdoctoral project into a biotech company called Cenix BioScience in 1999, he hesitated, fearing the switch from lab coat to business suit was a "move over to the dark side." Echeverri had been invited to turn the research he was doing at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg into a commercial venture under the well-endowed wing of the Max Planck Institute, Germany's elite scientific research body. Echeverri didn't hesitate long, seeing the opportunity as a once-in-a-lifetime chance to prove that his theories actually worked. So when...
...long as the Masai as a race shall exist." But it lasted just seven years. In a 1911 treaty, the colonial governor grabbed the fertile lands of Laikipia and exchanged them for an expansion of the Masai's southern holdings.

It's not just expectation that weighs on the new show - Crawford appears in a fat suit that renders him unrecognizable. Lloyd Webber insists that he wasn't trying to make Phantom II, but comparisons are inevitable, and unflattering. Phantom was about more than atmospherics: it had a focused narrative drive and a brilliant illusionist production by Hal Prince. Woman, by contrast, is often pallid and dramatically confused...
Gela and Pam show up at my hotel in a chauffeur-driven black Ford Excursion. They have matching Juicy sweat-suit dresses, matching Hermes handbags, matching Treo phones, nearly identical Manolo Blahnik shoes that make matching clicks as they walk, identical square engagement rings the size of Hungry Man dinners and the same Cosabella underwear, for which I have to take their word because I keep getting distracted by something else when they get in and out of the Excursion in their tiny outfits. Gela, the brunet, is completely in orange, and Pam, the blond, in white...
