...torso. Dooley moves with admirable lightness, assisted by John Morris' delicate flutes, harp and chimes. His speech, however, is erratic; and his discourse (in a harpy's disguise) to the villainous nobles is an almost total loss. In "Come unto these yellow sands," "Full fathom five," and "Where the bee sucks" Ariel has three of Shakespeare's loveliest lyrics; but Morris' supporting vocalists cannot hide the fact that Dooley is simply no singer.

By Entomologist Roy Barker's reckoning, just a few capsules may be enough to devastate a colony of 50,000 bees...
Other experts share Barker's concern. According to Washington State University Entomologist Carl Johansen, some 20,000 bee colonies have already been affected by the capsules. If some city folk regard that as a minor nuisance, they are sadly mistaken. Loss of the bees and the honey they produce (a $125 million-a-year industry) is not the only danger. More than 50 different crops grown in the U.S. depend on bees for pollination. Alfalfa alone requires two or three hives per acre.

When the fugitives returned to the senate, they were cheered from the galleries, where some spectators had donned yellow-and-black Killer Bee T shirts and a few wore fake insect antennae on their heads. The senators then revealed that the hiding place that had flummoxed the police was right in Austin, just three miles from the red granite state capitol-as the bee flies...
