...driver, a 47-year-old actor portraying pirate Captain Jack Sparrow's henchman "Mack" and a 30-year-old stuntman practicing for the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular died in on-the-job accidents. Nothing links the deaths except the fact that they all resulted from incidents at the theme park, but the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, along with the local sheriff's department and the Actors' Equity Association, is investigating nonetheless. Disney spokeswoman Zoraya Suarez told TIME this week that the three deaths, separated as they were in time, location and job title, are unrelated. "The only...
...universal theme was the low turnout by women. At one station in Kabul, no women had voted, and at another, just dozens turned up, compared with hundreds of men. This raises alarm bells.

But then again, partition in Indian history is a recurrent theme, referenced even in the Sanskrit epic “The Mahabharata,” where dividing the kingdom of Hastinapura among cousin, princely heirs is proposed as an alternative to war (although war inevitably ensues). In 1947, geographic partitioning of the subcontinent, intended to veil cultural-turned-political differences, later became...
...nearly two months here in the past year and have seen exactly three Asian people, all of whom worked in the single decent Chinese restaurant in town (a strangely upscale establishment compared to the ones I'm used to frequenting in America). So when I chose Chinese as the theme of the menu, I knew I was putting myself at a distinct disadvantage...
