...week in Australia, Hatfield seemed slightly ill at ease--perhaps with the prospect of a national tour looming ahead, a new band member's aggressive stage presence (red-jumpsuited bassist Mike Welsh) or the daunting prospect of signing with a new label. Though she delivered an eclectic and technically adept set, Hatfield failed to electrify her listeners as she has done so often in the past. Abandoning her usual witty repore with the audience, Hatfield barely interacted with the mildly soggy mass of fans who ranged in age from early teens...
...actors all give exquisitely controlled performances, but the film's depressing story arc leaves their performances stunted. As Ben and Elena Hood, Kline and Allen are especially adept at communicating their pain to the audience, even though they can't even communicate with each other. But Kline's character in particular comes across as clownish, because he's never given a chance to emerge from his foolish, self-indulgence.

...Alan Greenspan had just been named head of the Federal Reserve, and green he was. Over at Treasury, the politically savvy but market-naive James Baker spooked traders every time he moved his lips.

...songs chosen to be part of the show, there were a few highlights among the staple of ballads. Aaron D. Rosenberg '99 was the most theatrical of the four with his spirited choreography in "The God-Why-Don't-You-Love-Me Blues" from Follies. His entertaining expressions and adept use of a cane were complemented by Purohit's and Chandler's efforts as his two love interests. Rosenberg and S. David Foley '98 were quite successful in their duets, especially in the comic "Agony" from Into the Woods. Their sweet harmonies belied Sondheim's hilarious wording...
...people seek a doctor for what is known as primary care: the aches and pains, the colds and allergies that are readily treatable. Those also happen to be the sorts of illnesses that nurse practitioners--registered nurses who have undergone an extra two years of medical training--are particularly adept at taking care of. So if doctors are scarce, then why not increase the number of nurse practitioners? And if moving to the city for training creates too many temptations to forget about home, then why not use interactive technology to bring the classroom to the prairie? Ideally, to complete...
