...Victor Chiu '95, treasurer of the house committee, said the committee may consider supporting the grill next year, adding that the two organizations are separate...
Slapdash pleas are sometimes less brutal than the farcical trials that can result when ill-prepared lawyers are thrown in over their heads. In 1983 a man named Victor Roberts and an accomplice stole a car and drove to an Atlanta suburb hunting for a house to burglarize.

Any political resonance in the tale of an idiot named Vova (Lenin's nickname), who moves in with a hapless couple and destroys their lives, is, of course, purely intentional. Schnittke limns the moral and social breakdown of "I" and his "Wife" in a score of terrifying, eclectic intensity. The first-rate performance, recorded...
