Theater note: "American Pilot" explores global tensions

By Juliette Cherbuliez and Michael Opperman , TC Daily Planet

On May Day 2005, the phrase “Mission Accomplished” appeared on a banner hung from the deck of the supercarrier USS Abraham Lincoln and was displayed during a televised appearance by President Bush, announcing the success of the invasion of Iraq.

Advise and Dissent: Luis Pacheco

By Twin Cities teens , ThreeSixty
