...another unlikely escape, and like his previous one - in which he'd gone in less than a year from death row to the vice presidency - it symbolized the ineptitude of international efforts to stop the war in Sierra Leone. Sankoh may well have been tempted to pinch himself last summer when he received a phone call from President Clinton urging him to accept a peace deal that Reverend Jesse Jackson had spent days cajoling him to sign. And it was a pretty sweet deal for a man who'd been bound for the firing squad a few short months earlier...
...title role, even for the most skilled thespian, is a terribly difficult one. This version is proof of what occurs when a less capable actor attempts the task. While the choice to turn Hamlet into a filmmaker nicely modernizes his dramatic obsession, Hawke simply isn't talented or mature enough to tackle such a weighty work. Where Hamlet should be plaintive and forthright, he seems surly and bratty, and where the part calls for tortuous introspection, Hawke settles into a lifeless, gravelly monotone. For the most part, Hawke doesn't seem to know the implications of what he's saying...
...years. This seems to contradict the text's own (generally acceptable) logic. The problem manifests itself as a result of the overlap in the existence of the two Matthews.

Gravois' Matthew, however, seems to coexist eternally with Chaffin's Matthew at the moment the play begins; he is a clone trapped in temporal stasis...
...help produce) most of the other shows on campus. In a small theater like the Ex (which practically comes with a built-in audience) this phenomena is only evident in the repetition of faces at most performances. In larger spaces like the Agassiz and especially the Loeb Mainstage, however, less than ideal ticket sales for excellent shows indicate more clearly the limited extent of the theater-going audience at Harvard...
That's right. You have a moral responsibility to get off that field, move to Washington, and campaign without pause for the less-than-sunny personality of Al Gore '69. Republican or Democrat, libertarian or Independent: it doesn't matter. Only Gore can convince those reactionary corporate pawns in the Senate to ratify the prudent Kyoto Protocol. Only Gore has written a book--a whole book!--on the subject, refreshingly entitled Earth in the Balance. Only Gore, therefore, can save civilization from the preeminent crisis now facing it, climactic Armageddon precipitated by human-driven global warming...
