...Elizabethan sack buts could ever carry a really good Broadway tune. Richard Rodgers' score is overflowing with delightful melodies that are by turn jaunty and sweet. Harnessed to Lorenz Hart' witty and graceful lyrics, they pull the show along at an exhilarating clip, and in between numbers, George Abbott's book provides just the right mix of Shakespearean vaudeville and vaudevillian Shakespeare. Large chunks of iambic pentameter are carelessly tossed across the stage, only to be nimbly undercut by an outrageously topical reference or a wonderfully bad pun. And since its 1938 world premiere at the Shubert Theater, Boston...
...profit from their misdeeds. Fifteen states, including New Jersey last week, have adopted so-called Son of Sam laws, named for Multiple Murderer David Berkowitz, which lock up proceeds from books and other ventures to satisfy claims by victims or their survivors. One such moneyed killer is Jack Henry Abbott, author of the prison memoir In the Belly the Beast, who stabbed an aspiring actor to death in New York City in 1981. The widow, Ricci Adan, is using New York's Son of Sam law as one basis for getting damages from Abbott...

...fifth annual Kennedy Center Honors gala had the sort of black-tie, stretch-limo elegance that faintly evoked eras past, when the honorees hit their professional strides. Receiving this year's ribbon and gold-plated medallions was an illustrious quintet of long-lived achievers: Director-Writer-Producer George Abbott, 95; Actress Lillian Gish, 86; Bandleader Benny Goodman, 73; Dancer-Choreographer Gene Kelly, 70; and Conductor Eugene Ormandy, 83. Top-banana stripes went to First Trouper Ronald Reagan, 71. Warmly addressing each of the honorees, he came to Abbott, who is currently reviving his 1936 Broadway show On Your Toes...
VANSERG HALL was hastily built in 1943 by the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development as a radar laboratory. The architectural firm of Coolidge, Shepley, Bullfinch and Abbott, which under one name or another designed all the River Houses, departed from the neo-Georgian elegance that characterized their earlier work for Harvard and put together a plain three-story structure with a flat roof and red shingles...
