For those in Iran, where 98 percent of the population are Shiite Muslims, it’s like watching a recreation of Jesus’ crucifixion. The play–or plays, really, as there are 200 parts to the epic–are known as “Ta’ziyeh,” or “mourning.” They tell the story of the battle between Caliph Yazid and Hussein and the founding of the Shiite branch of Islam....

Whichever party ends up in the White House, we have reached the ultimate extreme of political paralysis: Mutually Assured Obstruction. Has anyone really thought through what a 21st century “civil war” would entail? Ruination. Rather than ruin the nation, we might want to consider a commonsense alternative: “You go your way and I’ll go mine.” It’s not a perfect solution – in fact it’s likely to be pretty messy. But it would be a whole lot less bloody than civil war, and potentially a lot more productive....

But just as significantly, hip-hop has been shaped by global culture, evolving under the influence of disparate peoples and regional trends. Now two new exhibits–featuring installations, photographs, paintings, drawings and multimedia projects, mostly by contemporary young artists with African-American and Asian-American ties–explore hip-hop’s ability to absorb outside forces and adapt. “Black Belt,” at the Studio Museum in Harlem (through January 2004), looks specifically at hip-hop’s debt to Asian culture.
