"Propaganda aside, it seems there is reason to look fondly upon Zayed, who died in 2004; he had been Abu Dhabi’s ruler and first president of the United Arab Emirates and was widely seen as a force for good in the region.

In one of the most charming dances, female students whirl with their newly minted diplomas as math formulas drift across the backdrop."
