...misunderstand as the essence of manhood. Testosterone has been offered as the symbolic (and sometimes literal) explanation for all the glories and infamies of men, for why they start street fights and civil wars, for why they channel surf, explore, prevail, sleep around, drive too fast, plunder, bellow, joust, plot corporate takeovers and paint their bare torsos blue during the Final Four. Hey, what's not to like...
...would all be rosy were it not for the 15 million to 18 million people--more than half the population--living in dire poverty, with 12.5 million of them unable to afford the most basic needs. These men and women, almost all subsistence or small-plot cash-crop farmers, have been structurally adjusted half to death. Though Adams points to progress--51% of Tanzanians now survive on $1 a day or less, down from 65% in the mid-1980s--his statistic makes Tanzanian analysts laugh bitterly, because it misses the fact that everything in a farmer's life costs more...
That method seemed to do the trick last week in Lake Station, Ind., where a parent's call helped school officials head off an alleged plot by three first- grade girls to kill a classmate.

To complicate matters, he arrives in the forbidden city of Ephesus, for which he is sentenced to die. That very...
Aegean (Scott Rowen '02) sets the tone-slapstick with a dash of irony-with the opening number "I Had Twins." Though he quickly disappears, the high spirited melodrama of his performance hangs in the air throughout the first act. The plot develops humorously (if predictably) through a series of mistaken identities and mixed motivations. As Adriana (Brydie Andrews '01) tries to reclaim her rightful husband, she takes the wrong Antipholus and...well...ahem. When the visiting Antipholus meets Adriana's sister Luciana (Randi Zuckerberg '03), there's enough chemistry between them to start a pharamcuticals coroporation. Their "This...
