...Behrens ’08, the show tells the autobiographical story of composer Jon, who lives in an apartment in SoHo in 1990, and the crisis he undergoes shortly before his 30th birthday. As Jon, Mueller takes center stage for most of the scenes, serving as the emotional thread that ties the musical together. Although he occasionally stumbles on his lines, Mueller masterfully portrays Jon’s abundance of feeling through an impressive range of emotions that include hesitance, frustration, enthusiasm, depression, and hope. Trevor G. Frankel ’09 plays Michael, Jon’s roommate...
...quickly as Fleet Street could dub Darwin Canoe Man (Kayak Man doesn't have quite the same ring) Darwin's tale began to leak. Medical experts noted that Darwin's symptoms didn't square with those normally manifested by amnesia victims. But the thread that untangled the story was a photograph that Britain's Daily Mirror unearthed of the couple on the web site of a company specializing in relocating foreigners to Panama, where Anne Darwin settled this fall.

Israeli settlements in the West Bank have proceeded apace, while, until recently, Israeli leaders seemed inclined to unilaterally decide the borders and other unresolved issues. Palestinian leadership has become badly splintered, with the pro-negotiations camp represented by the late Yasser Arafat's Fatah party increasingly overwhelmed by the Islamic fundamentalist group, Hamas...
...finally dispersed. That time for clarity is now, and the report should therefore have been greeted by a global outburst of thanks, with copies duplicated and shoved in every letterbox. Instead, it has been met with either irritated silence or trite complaints. The feckless comments made to a discussion thread on the BBC news website were typical: "So the choice is, eat boring food, drink no alcohol and spend all my spare time in a gym in exchange for 10 extra years in an old people's home," read one. "If we listened to these scientists we would...
