Journeys of faith (Jun 07 2004 14:58 GMT) - From Journeys of Faith, Roads of Civilization. Roped four abreast, the column of camels shuffled in the darkness across the rocky plain, each following the shadowy forms of the four in front. The drivers and passengers intermittently dozed in the saddle, then jerked awake, then dozed again. From a distance the sweeping train was marked by the swaying of lanterns and the faint accompaniment of tambourines. In the east the sky lightened, marking the caravan's 40th morning, now in a landscape shaped by volcanic upheavals. |

Bad Idea Bears (and the Rest of Avenue Q) Upset Tonys (Jun 07 2004 14:57 GMT) - There were gasps when Avenue Q, the underdog musical because that's what you call a musical that started off-Broadway and features puppets, won best musical last night at the Tony Awards, but considering that the show won best book and best score earlier on in the night, it seemed clear that it would be a night on Avenue Q, and Gothamist couldn't be happier. Avenue Q could be called a kinder, feltier variation on the "living in the big city" theme that other musicals like Guys and Dolls, Rent, and Wonderful Town visit, but Avenue Q has songs like "It Sucks To Be Me" and "Schadenfreude" plus the Bad Idea Bears. And Gothamist loves what co-creater Robert Lopez said in his acceptance speech: "When we started writing 'Avenue Q,' Jeff was an intern and I was a temp. Our lives kinda sucked, so we came up with an idea for a show about people like us whose lives all kinda suck. |

Лимоновцы опротестовали приговор суда (Jun 07 2004 14:56 GMT) - Адвокат двоих активистов Национал-Большевистской партии (НБП) опротестовал приговор суда, который признал их виновными в избиении милиционера, сообщил РИА "Новости" защитник Дмитрий Аграновский, представляющий интересы осужденных. По его словам, в понедельник он подал в президиум Мосгорсуда кассационную жалобу, в которой настаивает на отмене приговора и направлении дела на новое рассмотрение. "У защиты есть видеозапись, сделанная одной из телекомпаний, на которой видно, что милиционера избили совершенно другие люди", - утверждает адвокат. По словам Аграновского, речь идет о "лимоновцах" Сергее Манжосе и Вячеславе Чайке, которые 30 июня 2003 года явились с повинной в Тверскую межрайонную прокуратуру и сознались в избиении милиционера. Однако ранее, 22 мая 2003 года, Тверской суд столицы пришел к выводу, что милиционера Олега Романенко, обеспечивавшего правопорядок на Триумфальной площади столицы во время митинга 15 сентября 2002 года, избили 23-летний гражданин Молдавии Евгений Николаев и 28-летний россиянин Алексей Голубович - член НБП. |
