...spare: a modest assortment of sweatshirts, mugs, CDs and T shirts in basic-grunge black-and-white. The show, too--on my first return visit since reviewing it 12 years ago--looks a bit paler than it did back in 1996, when it opened off-Broadway to so much acclaim that it made the jump to Broadway just two months later. The aids-centric story lines in this East Village update of La Bohème seem a little dated now, and the umpteenth replacement cast doesn't have the snap, or the voices, of originals like Anthony Rapp and Idina...
...passed on to Sartre. We would be mistaken, however, to reduce her eccentricities to a life of temerity and scandal. Beauvoir inspired millions of women through conferences on her magnum opus, The Second Sex.

To her beloved in Chicago, the anti-chauvinist crusader sent adoring letters that sometimes smacked of anti-feminist submission.

...Health founder Paul E. Farmer drew a standing-room-only crowd to Langdell Hall at the Law School last night for a conversation about methods to help save children’s lives in Rwanda.

It was such a bizarre, exciting, intimidating experience." Smith, who once saw acclaim in his Philly neighborhood as his life's goal, began to dream about conquering London and Tokyo. "Now it's an addiction for me to see where my artistry can touch people...
...emerging "niche" weekend destination, "exciting and different from London, Paris, Rome." The Rialto (starting at $263 a night) is tailored to that kind of visitor. Poland's first boutique hotel, it opened last year as an alternative to the other five-star hotels and has since won acclaim for its spare, Art Deco decor and excellent cuisine. Low-cost airlines such as Air Polonia can take travelers into Warsaw from London for as little as $30 for a round trip...
