Relive the Glory Days, Greece: The Trial of Socrates

THE UNITED STATES is the beating heart of the world. Or maybe it's China. But you know what is no longer the beating heart of the world? Greece.

So the Greek Embassy has sponsored a re-enactment of the Trial of Socrates at the Shakespeare Theatre, with Justice Samuel Alito presiding. It's like they want us to remember how one of the greatest thinkers of all time was Greek ... and ... um ... they had him executed.

» Shakespeare Theatre, 610 F St. NW; Tue., Sept. 16, 7:30 p.m., $35; 202-547-1122. (Gallery Place)

  • What a very strange post indeed... perhaps the writer is feeling a little inferiority complex...?
