Secret money is gushing into the presidential campaigns as never before through fake “social welfare” nonprofits under 501-c-4 of the Internal Revenue Code -- and the IRS has decided not to stop it, reports the NY Times. Under an exemption set up more than a century ago, nonprofits don’t have to report their sources of income as long as they “further the common good and general welfare of the people of the community” -- but obviously this doesn’t include being shills for politicians. Yet the IRS remains so scarred by the scandal two years ago over its scrutiny of nonprofits tied to the Tea Party that it won’t investigate.

Doctor and Patient
The Doctor's Failure to Cut Costs
By PAULINE W. CHEN, M.D.


One bioethicist says physicians have been complicit in the failure to control spiraling health care costs.
兩年前英國合拍劇團(Complicite)融匯《春琴抄》與谷崎潤一郎散文《陰翳禮贊》,編創偶戲《春琴》,下周首度登台,女星深津繪里將親自操偶主演。合拍劇團有廿七年歷史,由藝術總監麥克伯尼(Simon McBurney)成立,目前是英國劇場界引領潮流的代表性團體。麥克伯尼畢業自法國賈克.樂寇戲劇學校,強調肢體劇場,並擅於運用肢體、物件、偶戲、多 媒體等元素,創造出具有強烈視覺效果的想像空間,他和同樣擅長舞台視覺效果的加拿大導演羅伯.勒帕吉齊名。麥克伯尼在劇場外也曾參與電影《謊言對決》、 《最後的蘇格蘭王》、《黃金羅盤》演出。

The British experimental theatre company Complicite was founded in 1983 by Simon McBurney, Annabel Arden, and Marcello Magni. Its original name, Théâtre de Complicité, is French for Theatre of Complicity; the company wanted the audience to be involved, or complicit, in the production. The company's work—usually created jointly by the performers and directors—combines realistic and stylized acting with narrative text, movement, music, and visual art. Its work has been influenced by Jacques Lecoq and Vsevolod Meyerhold. The company produced their first work in 1983. In 1985 they won the Perrier Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Pushkin died as a result of a duel with a young French émigré nobleman who was accused, in anonymous letters to the poet, of being the lover of Pushkin's flirtatious young wife. He was buried secretly by government officials whom Lermontov, among others, accused of complicity in the affair. Most of Pushkin's writings are available in English.

Beijing got what it wanted out of this globally televised spectacular. It reaped a huge prestige bonanza that it will surely use to promote its international influence and, we fear, further tighten its grip at home.
