ASSASSINS, NUNS, AND HAND GRENADES: THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME IS PEAK WES
ANDERSON
[[link removed]]


Eccentric and quirky characters; symmetrically framed, pastel-shaded
shots; estranged fathers trying to rekindle broken relationships with
their dysfunctional families — all the hallmarks of a Wes Anderson
movie permeate The Phoenician Scheme, the stylistic filmmaker’s
13th feature. Nicknamed “Mr. Five Percent” and loosely based on
the infamous Armenian multimillionaire Calouste Gulbenkian, Benicio
del Toro disappears into […]

PERHAPS THERE ARE DRAWBACKS TO SENDING IDEOLOGUES ABROAD
[[link removed]]


The acting Fulbright Commission Board’s mass resignation this past
Wednesday marks a significant moment for education abroad. The board,
