First thing I know for sure: Democrats, most of whom know better, need to stop blaming America. No more talk about moving to Canada (and really: if you need to leave the country, Paris beats Vancouver any day). Shockingly, a bare majority of us voted for George W. Bush—a better candidate with a clearer message who led a stronger campaign, a wartime president re-elected four days after Osama bin Laden released a tape that frightened the hell out of millions of people. No good reason to hate this country. And there are few moments in history...
...challenge of getting kids engaged seems to have inspired writers and directors to experiment more freely with the form, integrating movement, music, puppetry, dance and more nontraditional techniques. And sometimes they strip theater down to its thrilling essentials: a bare stage and the imagination. A production of Moby Dick from Germany's Theater Triebwerk (presented at New York City's New Victory Theater last spring) re-creates Melville's tale with just three actors, some costume changes and a few minimalist stage effects--like a swaying lamp to represent the rolling sea. A new version of The Strange Case...

And then we realize that we are still...
...just us, or does the Today show's MATT LAUER look alarmingly at ease with a bare-midriff, miniskirt and pumps? For the morning program's annual Halloween costume contest last week, Lauer got gussied up as socialite Paris Hilton, while co-anchor KATIE COURIC made for a Mini-Me DONALD TRUMP, and weatherman AL ROKER channeled a pre-diet Oprah Winfrey. Supposedly on some other networks people in blazers and pearls actually read news and interviewed guests. But frankly, we were too mesmerized by Lauer's shapely calves to notice...
...decides it his professional responsibility to expose Sydow as a charlatan and the two sides clash in a brilliantly evocative philosophical duel between art and science, rationality and irrationality, believer and non believer. It all climaxes in a beautifully destructive sequence that reduces the once proud doctor to his bare parts. At The Brattle Theater...
