...Kramer ’12. For Kramer, who will helm the Dunster House Opera in February, “Putting It Together” marks his directorial debut. The most recent major revival of “Putting It Together,” which opened on Broadway 10 years ago, was a disappointment to him, sacrificing meaning in favor of cuteness and kitsch. “I know kitsch is sometimes unavoidable in musical theater,” he jests, “but I try to avoid it as much as possible.” For Kramer, the greatest...

Although the motion was thrown out because it violates the U.N. Charter, which states that no member country can threaten the existence of another, some Swiss leaders are still concerned that Libya could use its yearlong presidency of the U.N. General Assembly, which began on Sept. 15, to keep up Gaddafi's vitriolic attacks on their country. (See the top 10 U.N. General Assembly moments...
