...multimedia devices and speeches by the artists who trained with these dance world legends. Unfortunately, while well-constructed, the second act did not quite live up to the hype.The best contribution to Act II was its opener, a restaging of Balanchine’s iconic “Apollo.” Danced in the Friday cast by Adam R. Singerman ’09, Kate O. Ahlborn ’07, Morgan P. Richardson ’09, and Molly M. Altenburg ’07, “Apollo” respectably matched the images of Balanchine?...

...watch successively the minute they turn 13. The order changes from time to time - last week Pirates of the Caribbean was at the top of the list, this week Independence Day. We have found lots of other PG movies which have been a blast to watch - Chariots of Fire, Apollo 13 - and websites like Screenit can provide interested parents with plenty of information before they go to the cineplex.

...ships will follow the old rules. The centerpiece of the stack will be the prosaically named Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV), a descendant of the Apollo command module but for a few significant differences. For one thing, it will be bigger, able to carry four astronauts comfortably and six a bit more snugly--twice the load of the three-man Apollos...

...about Washington's political will. The space agency is vetting contractors to build the ships, and the winning company may begin cutting metal by 2008. But Congress and the White House--a notoriously fickle bunch--must stay on board. The commitment the U.S. made to space from Sputnik through Apollo spanned four presidential administrations and seven changeovers on Capitol Hill. Only if leaders in the 21st century remain equally focused can they hope to match the accomplishments of their predecessors in the 20th...
