...productions since September 2006. But while stalwarts like Grease and Bye Bye Birdie still top the schools' most-popular list (Little Shop of Horrors was actually No. 1 for 2007), a growing number of high schools are turning to more adventurous fare for their theatrical rite of spring: big, adult epics like Les Miz; irreverent satires like Urinetown; dark musicals like Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd. "There's a sense of we want to do something new and edgy," says Jeff Knoedler of Newton South High School outside Boston. "There's only so many times you can trot out Oklahoma...
...think the current race is the best, most riveting election campaign I have witnessed as an adult. I'm 56. Never before have I seen a primary campaign come down to the wire like this year's Democratic contest. Back in January I was hoping for the same thing on the Republican side.

"What I'm hoping to find out by picking apart these mechanisms is what motivates people and why this works," says Fox. "If you are energized by seeing yourself run, maybe you can put an avatar on the bottom of your computer screen for five minutes and it would persuade...
...commercial capital of Rangoon, which was also hit by the cyclone. But a few dozen trucks will do little to allay the vast destruction. In Bogalay, once a prosperous trading port, one third of buildings have collapsed. At a jetty along the Irrawady, two nearly week-old bodies, an adult and a child, lay among the storm's detritus of plywood, bamboo and coconut husks. Near the corpses, people went about their lives, tying bamboo poles together to build temporary lodging and jostling for limited supplies of cooking oil and diesel fuel. Prices have at least doubled, a further blow...
