...play stars Daniel O'Keefe as Eugene, the 15-year-old Simon surrogate whose writings at this age, we are led to believe, eventually become the play itself. Brighton hinges on Eugene, his thoughts and his interactions with other characters, and O'Keefe plays the pubescent Eugene admirably, lending believability to a role which requires that his paramount interest be seeing naked breasts. O'Keefe's beady-eyed facial expressions and air of child-like surprise throughout the show are what make the play worth seeing...
...Dark and Light Spirits. Henry as the Light Spirit and a Darth Vaderesque Christina Kiely as her darker counter-part are permanent fixtures to the play. When they don't have any lines they simply stand there spreading their good or bad karma. It's quite a New Age-like concept--one can almost feel all that cosmic energy being thrown about...
...sums are so vast, and so apparently out of line with any foreseeable benefits that the deal might bring to American industry, that they raise deep and disturbing doubts about the direction of U.S. business at a time when many firms lag badly in foreign competition. Seldom since the age of the 19th century robber barons has corporate behavior been so open to question. The battle for RJR Nabisco seems to have crossed an invisible line that separates reasonable conduct from anarchy...
...potency. "Coming down hard on the narrow seat of a ten-speed bicycle can damage the arteries or the nerves," says urologist Irwin Goldstein of Boston University School of Medicine, who recently chaired an international conference on impotence research. But the vast majority of impotent men -- most are above age 55 -- are victims of poor habits or illness. Alcoholism, for example, can deaden nerves. Cigarette smoking can reduce blood flow to the penis by constricting vessels and causing the corpora cavernosa to lose elasticity. Diabetes, atherosclerosis and high blood pressure (and the medications used to treat it) can all have...
...most Europeans in the Middle Ages, what lay beyond the city wall had been fairly odious; its image was not Arcadia but Dante's dark wood, a labyrinth of fear and self-loss, full of bears, wolves and demons. The conditions of medieval labor did not, to put it mildly, foster belief in happy flute-playing rustics. The rediscovery of Vergil and Theocritus changed that. First in poetry and then in painting, the glimmering, closed Theocritean landscape where gods and shepherds pursue nymphs and shepherdesses amid the boskage was reconstructed. You know, looking at Dosso Dossi's The Three Ages...
