...sense of isolation, are framed eloquently in context. And by having the actors perform the music themselves rather than mime to originals, Corbijn captures the energy of Joy Division's shows. Shot, naturally, in black and white, Control has the intense feel of a 1960s British kitchen-sink drama, leavened by Corbijn's empathy for Curtis' plight...
...Pudding, has now been transformed into a rehearsal area. During the renovation, HPT moved its performances to the Zero Arrow Theatre. The Hasty Pudding Social Club, which relocated to 2 Garden Street during construction, will remain at its current location. The theater’s first performance, an absurdist drama written by Arthur L. Kopit ’59, will open on the new stage in November. The Silk Road Project, featuring cellist Yo-Yo Ma ’76, will also perform in the space later that month. HPT’s annual show will return this spring...
...Other nations, most of whom greeted the '88 crackdown with silence, are keeping a much closer watch this time on the unfolding drama in Burma. On Wednesday, the U.N.

And while the headlines referred to it as the POLYGAMY TRIAL, that was not the charge either, though attitudes about polygamy are clearly being put to the test. The defendant, Warren Jeffs, the 51-year-old prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), was being tried as an accomplice to rape for commanding Doe to agree to an arranged marriage despite her resistance...
