  UNHCR - UNHCR: Asylum applications in the last five years drop by half
Last year, 336,000 asylum applications were submitted – 15 percent fewer than in 2004.
The total number of asylum seekers arriving last year in the 38 industrialized countries for which comparable, long-term historical statistics are available was the lowest since 1987, at 331,600.
Despite a 15 percent drop in asylum claims last year, France was the top receiving country in 2005, followed by the United States, the UK and Germany – the leading asylum country in Europe for much of the 1980's and 1990's – in fourth place.

 Sadallah Wannus: His Last Five Years
When he actually lived another five very active and creative years, the miracle of his life considering that dire prognosis enhanced his prestige and popularity almost to the point of canonization.
In the last phase of Wannus's writing, characterization is the focus of the new dramatic structure.
By breaking the taboos, he created in the last five years of his life a body of dramatic work, which is both politically and humanly more rich and more significant than anything he had written before.

Another for the custody investigation; a third for the mortgage; four and five for when Eddie had shoved her against the wall and, he suspected, all the times he'd hit her that were, as yet, unconfirmed.

 Middle Tennessee Premiere of The Last Five Years
Written by Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Songs For A New World), The Last Five Years is an intensely personal look at the relationship between a writer and an actress told from both points of view.
The show is presented in "forward time" as we follow the story of their relationship from Jamie's perspective, as Cathy relates the story in "reverse" -- starting with their breakup and moving backwards in time until their first meeting at the end of the show.
Musicals about relationships are nothing new, but The Last Five Years manages to reinvent the familiar formula and offers up one of the brightest, freshest scores of the new century.

 Amazon.ca: The Last Five Years: Music: Original Off-Broadway Cast   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
With "The Last 5 Years," Jason Robert Brown is three for three as far as composing goes.
"The Last 5 Years" isn't Brown's best score; that honor goes to "Songs for a New World." It also isn't his best show; that honor goes to 1999's "Parade." Yet it is his most daring show to date, and for that alone deserves attention and praise.
The Last 5 Years isn't going to go in the history books as ground breaking and it might not be a favorite in your collection, but I recommend you buy it just to have a piece of Norbert Leo Butz in your collection.

 In tuneful 'Five Years,' timing is everything - The Boston Globe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Love makes the world go round, clockwise and counterclockwise, in Jason Robert Brown's musical "The Last Five Years," which is based not-so-loosely on his own failed marriage.
The musical begins with Cathy lamenting the end of the relationship in "Still Hurting" while Jamie is ecstatic about its beginning in "Shiksa Goddess." He moves forward in time, she moves backward, and they meet somewhere near the middle of the 90-minute one-act.
"The Last Five Years" is one of the more tuneful scores by the current generation of young composers.

 Brown's "The Last Five Years" at North Valley Playhouse-11/16 - 12/2/06
Probably the most aggravating part of the evening for those who know the musical is what appears to be sloppiness on the part of the directors in setting up the intricate sequence of the events.
Since the play explores the five years of a passionate but ultimately doomed relationship using two different chronologies, each scene links up when you make the effort to note what’s happening at simultaneous times.
A scene set on a river has moments at the beginning and end of the play, but they appear not to have been tracked by the directors, leaving the first of the scenes correctly set by the river, but the later scene has Cathy and Jamie at home with her in a bathrobe.

This is Bush's third public relations offensive in less than a year to try to rally support for the war.
Peter Baker and Jim VandeHei wrote in The Washington Post on Thursday: "President Bush and his surrogates are launching a new campaign intended to rebuild support for the war in Iraq by accusing the opposition of aiming to appease terrorists and cut off funding for troops on the battlefield.
Richard Wolffe and Holly Bailey wrote for Newsweek last week that Bush's goal is "to re-focus attention on 'the enemy,' to empathize with the American people about all the bad news on TV, and to set the entire debate in the wider context of a giant ideological struggle in the Middle East.

Brown’s music is on stage again locally as the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis presents his latest work, The Last Five Years in the studio theatre.
Yes, this is a compelling show with much food for thought and I’d strongly recommend it to anyone interested in unconventional and creative musical theatre – but it’s not for everyone.
The Last Five Years is, however, the kind of adventurous, non-traditional fare that the Rep Studio season was intended to showcase and I’m glad to see it on stage.
