...otherwise known as Ryan M. Carpenter, taught would-be drag queens to “grab, cup, and pull back” and would-be drag kings to pack themselves down there. The seminar preceded next week’s drag show at the Cambridge Queen’s Head pub, where many of Carpenter’s protégés will perform. Some were not so new to the cross-dressing scene. At last year’s show, “Miss Patience,” a.k.a. James P. Alexander ’10, switched between...
...backseat, Michael J. Scalise ’10 sits with knees high and head looming close to the roof of the car. He replenishes an earthen gourd of mate—a caffeinated drink prepared with the dried leaves of a South American holly—with hot water from a thermos.

...just had to shake my head at Newt Gingrich's article [March 23]. In President Barack Obama's two months in office, Gingrich says, he "has so far failed to turn around the economic decline."

Other lawmakers called Groves an "incredibly troubling selection" who must be watched for "statistical sleight of hand...
...perpetrator" of at least 25 murders and two kidnappings in the early 1990s, at the start of his ultimately successful campaign to stamp out Tupac Amaru and the even more bloodthirsty Maoist rebels known as Sendero Luminoso, or Shining Path. The verdict makes Fujimori, 70, the first democratically elected head of state to be tried and convicted on human rights abuse charges in his own country. He was sentenced to 25 years' imprisonment, with fines ranging from $7,000 to $20,000 for each victim. (See the top 10 scandals...
