...nurse." Nerissa (Rebecca Clark)--their pouty cutdowns of Portia's suitors are hilarious, and Paulus' rendition of "My Heart Belongs to Daddy," is a cute touch within the context of the play. Paulus gives the most consistently impressive performance in the play even though she has a broken arm, in cast and sling...
...devoted as sportsmen are to collecting shiny gewgaws, this is the only athletic mantel piece that would be noticed at Westminster Abbey, and the thought of it cradled under the arm of Flutie, or vice versa, brings a smile.

Gardner cut loose, thrust over to the bay, stored his pack and tethered himself to the cargo bay. Meantime, Fisher gingerly began to reel in Allen and the satellite until Gardner could reach up to remove the stinger. He could then proceed directly to the remaining berthing steps. The only newly tricky part was in keeping the second...
