...promised to fly in anybody willing to fight as long as they're not American, and also to send Jesse Jackson back to the region to talk to anyone who'll listen. But it's patently clear that the peace that Western leaders had hoped would solve the problem cannot be saved. Once Freetown is secured, the international community will face some brutal choices: Either the West will have to risk some of its own resources in a war to destroy Sankoh's forces and bring him to justice, or it will have to arm and pay the Nigerians...
...ROXY ITSELF IS AN ELABORATE AND DECOROUS OLD BALLROOM, TRANSFORMED INTO A DANCE CLUB AND SHOW SPACE WITH A NEON-LIT CIRCULAR BAR AND THREE DISCO BALLS. WHILE PERHAPS A LITTLE ECLECTIC, THE VENUE ITSELF WAS NOT A PROBLEM. THE CROWD, ON THE OTHER HAND, WAS. REGGAE ALLOWS FOR A SYNTHESIS OF STYLES, AND AN OVERALL TOLERANCE FOR ALL PEOPLE. HOWEVER, I DO NOT EXPECT OR WISH TO STAND NEXT TO 30- AND 40-SOMETHING YUPPIES IN SUITS AND TIES RUNNING TO THE SIDES TO ANSWER THEIR CELLPHONES. THEIR PRESENCE WAS A LITTLE BAFFLING, AS MOST OF THEM APPEARED...
...Boch '02 seem to struggle with understanding their own universe. One awkward example arises from the fact that both Chaffin and John Gravois play Matthew Circland at age 42, yet Gravois has been 42 for 21 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. While other Matthews appear (Jeff Klann, age 21 and Matthew Ciborowski, age 12), Chaffin's Matthew clashes less directly with them; they exist as memories (whether based in experience or fantasy) within his subconscious. Gravois...
...biggest problem with the U.N.'s remedy is the force sent to mediate. The peacekeepers consist largely of untrained soldiers from other countries in Africa who are unequipped and outmanned in the fight with the rebels. Faced with a force far too strong to fight, the untrained peacekeepers were kidnapped, their supplies stolen by the rebels, who will become even stronger as a result. Now Nigeria has decided to pull out their troops, and the British are evacuating their citizens from the country. These actions are sending a clear message to the rebels of Sierra Leone--the West does...
...equate a few cushions in the Loeb Ex with the two-century-long death of interesting dramatic work in England would be somewhat overstating the point. The problem that Picasso's original seating design highlights is not an absence of creative talent in the Harvard theater scene. Rather, it highlights an absence of exposure. Like almost any activity at any university, undergraduate theater at Harvard has a fairly static collection of adherents. The same set of people see most of the shows on campus-and they are the same set of people who help produce (or are close friends with...
