Because we are traditionalist Orthodox clergymen (belonging to that part of the Church of Greece which adheres to the Julian Calendar), we maintain the clerical dress (black cassock, uncut hair and beard) of the Orthodox clergy throughout Europe--even though our monastery, a dependency of a large Greek monastic house, is in the United States. It has been our view that geography should not compromise tradition, especially when one is in a country which champions religious freedom...
...stop. Four men leap out and escape into the gathering dusk. The agents, led by a 39-year-old Pathan tribesman named Jehangir Khan, are only perfunctory in their pursuit. They are more interested in the truck's cargo: 421 kilos of heroin, worth $250 million uncut and up to $1 billion on the streets of Western Europe...
When he wrote Peer Gyntin 1867, Ibsen did not dream that his epic poem would ever be performed onstage. Uncut, it contains five acts and 38 scenes.

On a Los Angeles street corner, a gram of coke sells for about...
...television, have been treated like certain kinds of blue jeans: they have been shrunk to fit. No matter that the pay cable service promises the whole movie, just as it was shown in theaters. Never mind that free TV boasts of showing the same feature complete and uncut. No matter what station you watch, or how much you lay out for special cable channels, you are not seeing the complete movie. It may not have any scenes missing, but chances are it has been reframed, rephotographed and in essence redirected, to fit onto the home screen...
