...unctuous parishioner, making a pilgrimage has always seemed to be a phenomenal waste of time. Upon hearing that the Pope was coming to Bosnia, I was at first apprehensive. The logistics of seeing the Holy Father are not simple, and he had decided to speak in Banja Luka, the capital of the Republika Srpska, a locale markedly hostile to Catholics and Muslims in Bosnia...
Planning routes is impossible here as well. Gracanica is, more or less, my homebase—a Muslim-dominated town about five minutes from the Serb-controlled area of Bosnia. But in order to get to Banja Luka and the Pope, not even the most innocuous parishioner can follow the straight-shot from Gracanica.

In the past two weeks, a pair of Macedonian police and two ethnic Albanians have been killed and five Macedonians kidnapped (and later released) in what locals believe is an attempt...
...With Luka and Peppel out of the picture, the fourth act suffers from lack of direction. This was partly Gorky's intention. Satin (Nick Meunier '02) picks up the slack by translating some of Luka's wisdom into a sardonic wit more accessible to many of the drifters. The cast, however, has a bit too much fun joyriding, which takes away from the impact of the pointed suicide...
