...have traveled last year to Indianapolis, Ind. (from where a threatening letter to O'Reilly was mailed, its handwriting resembling that on the anthrax-tainted letters). You won't read anything like that on the FBI website. On the other hand, Lake isn't bound by the constraints that keep the FBI from broadcasting even informed speculation; that's part of what makes his work so interesting...
...starts from the original point of departure--a Chinese girl, Mei-Li (Lea Salonga, who starred in Miss Saigon), gets off the boat and arrives in San Francisco's Chinatown--but Hwang has taken all the pieces apart and put them back together in a new configuration.

But for many Europeans and Arabs, the UN process...
...sole purpose of putting them on an application, Ivy League athletes exhibit a level of maturity and dedication well beyond that of their peers.You do not play a sport here just because you feel obligated to do something—especially Ivy League athletes, who are not bound by scholarships to play. You play because you love it. I urge the Ivy League presidents to head to the soccer field or the volleyball court or the boathouse, because nowhere on campus will they find more guts, more heart or more inspiration...
