Inequality threatens Mandela legacy

'The Suit' squares a love triangle
In his seminal 1968 work "The Empty Space," Peter Brook wrote: "Certainly, we still wish to capture in our arts the invisible currents that rule our lives, but our vision is now locked to the dark end of the spectrum.

Graca Machel (pronounced Mah-shell) has, after all, been here before.
