Onstage the puppeteers are visible, but their puppets get away with behavior for which humans would be sent to their rooms. Amid it all, the characters grow up and move on. Puppet-on-puppet action is quite a sight, but the show's real charm is that unlike its main characters, it has a heart. --By Kate Betts
...nearly two years, bin Laden has been on the run in isolated parts of Afghanistan and eastern Pakistan, U.S. officials believe, staying out of sight, relying on the help of local tribes and traveling only in very small groups of devoted followers.

...George W. Bush & co. clearly fudged the truth about the threat of Iraqi WMD. The Administration's statements that the occupation would be short are also wrong. American men and women are dying in a distant land, with no end to the carnage in sight. If the President and his staff deliberately misled the American public and Congress, they should suffer the consequences. Brandon Bittner Spring City...
