...performed for the first time by Boston Ballet as part of the "Festival." The spirited songs of the Andrews Sisters and the witty exhuberance of the dancing makes this piece pure fun. Songs such such as "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," "Pennsylvania Polka" and "Rum and Coca-Cola" highlight the array, evoking the feelings of a confident and patriotic era, with underpinnings of tragedy behind every beat. Although some of the steps are clear reminders of swing dancing, Taylor adds many new elements by experimenting with the pace of the moves. Some of the dancing is heightened to a hysterically breakneck...
...widen it to as many as 1.5 million homes in Montreal and Quebec City. Outside the relatively well-wired confines of North America, however, getting connected can still be a frustrating and costly experience. In Europe and parts of Asia, monopolistic state telephone systems erect a bewildering array of speed limits and tollgates that make traveling the Infobahn a costly and often frustrating experience. High long-distance fees and connection surcharges levied by monopolistic government communications ministries can make the use of the Internet and such services as CompuServe and America Online unduly expensive for ordinary users. Some countries outlaw...
...plus the ever changing prospect of even newer technologies, are reasons why it is so tough for builders of the information highway to decide what it is they should be selling.

Teenagers flock to online services not only to ``chat'' but also to reach primary schoolwork sources, such as images of original works of art, documents prepared by experts, even possible exchanges of E-mail with the experts themselves. Adults have access to instant stock-market quotes, to online versions of magazines, from Ad Week to Women's Wear Daily, and to a host of ``clubs,'' where people gather to discuss astronomy, genealogy or bicycling...
...Mouton-Rothschild is coming from. Credulity about miracle cures ripens among these Blimps and boozers. It is up to Wallace, whose sanity is battered but intact, to thread his way through his hangover and puzzle out a non-paranormal explanation. As he does, he rages entertainingly at a glorious array of targets, generally returning to the furies of sex. Wallace's discerning view is that women tolerate sex so as to have men around and that men, whose fateful hormones reverse this comedy, are far more sorely afflicted...
