...counted flower petals, his boyish smile would win any woman's heart as it certainly won Giselle's. Throughout the first act, Armand's acting matched both his artistry and technique. His jumps were light, his extensions high and his turns ending in perfect balances. His remorse and anguish at Giselle's death were incredibly real and almost tangible--his acting overshadowed everyone else onstage. He and Ribeiro have been consistently paired together for over a season now, and in this production Armand's maturity and experience definitely helped Ribeiro through both acts. In the second act, whether...
...this political wrangling leaves potential transplant patients in limbo, adding uncertainty to the anguish they already suffer. Like Bryan Lee, Rita May Bolen has had enough. From her home in a New Orleans suburb, she calmly says her husband Leon, 71, is "sitting in a chair dying." They have been waiting 10 months for a liver.

He expected other adults to buy his line about oral sex not really being sex, and then to pity him in his pain and anguish over having or not having...

His mother, a Holocaust survivor, is driven mad by the latest big lie of anti-Semitism: that Hitler's genocide factories at Auschwitz and elsewhere are fabrications by Zionist propagandists. Novelist Schulman's accomplishment is to guide Dr. Hershleder to the source of his free-floating anguish and then discreetly join the enormity of his legacy to his domestic woes. The author also leaves the reader in a state of disturbed speculation. If Holocaust revisionism becomes accepted history, how long will it take for Hitler to be remembered as a failed idealist and Goring as a distinguished...
