...Libertà” is projected brightly onto an angularly imperious archway. The villain Scarpia (Greg Cass) is dressed as a blackshirt, with oily hair and a thin mustache suggestive of Hitler. By the end, when Tosca not only takes the traditional suicidal plunge, but tears down a banner with the motto “Viva La Morte” with her, there can be no mistake: we are in Fascist times. Only Mussolini posters could have made the point more clearly in this production, which runs through March...
...went around and contacted as many of these groups as I could find and invited them to Asheville for what we called the first N.C. Freedom Convention." That was last May. When everyone was gathered, DeGerolamo coaxed the groups - notoriously prickly about their independence - to join under the banner of a single website, NCFreedom.us. Next, he convened a town-hall meeting "for one reason - to get YouTube videos," DeGerolamo said. "YouTube is one of our best allies in terms of becoming a communications network."

However, “M*A*S*H” holds up, and beautifully...

And while several conservatives said they believed Tea Partyers would naturally align under the conservative banner, they cautioned that the movement's support could not be taken for granted. "These new people distrust everybody," Keene says. "Republicans are carrying the burden and the baggage of the last time they were in power. People remember that. They have to be very careful about being consistent this time around...
