...chimney stacks along the St. Nicolaas beach on Aruba no longer belch smoke into the luminous tropical air. After 60 years of refining more than 6.5 billion bbl. of crude, including 1 out of every 16 bbl. of aircraft fuel used by Allied forces in World War II, Exxon's Lago refinery, once the largest in the world, will shut down this week. The closing marks the end of an era in the world oil industry and spells trouble for the 70-sq.-mi. Caribbean island. The refinery has provided Aruba with more than half its annual income for better...
...performances of the other members of the cast, who work both individually and as a troupe to keep the audience laughing throughout. As the fool Osino, Gary Armagnac blends just the right amount of wit and wisdom to successfully mock love and the gentrified aristocracy. Jack Aranson (Sir Toby Belch) and Francis Cuka (Maria) also provide the play with some of its most amusing--and bawdy--humor in their defiance of courtly propriety. And by far the most hilarious performance of the evening is Joseph Costa's portrayal of the cantakeorous Malvolio, whose vanity and self-importance trap him into...
...primarily affects the Tacoma smelter, which is the only U.S. plant using arsenic-rich copper ore imported from the Philippines. The proposed standard requires the smelter to install the best available technology to lower its overall arsenic emissions to 189 tons per year from the 310 tons that annually belch from its 565-ft. smokestack and seep from other parts of the plant. Asarco is already spending $4.4 million to install hoods that should cut back emissions to precisely those levels. Despite these safeguards, Ernesta Barnes, EPA's Northwest regional administrator, maintains that "arsenic is toxic at any level...
...encounter in Part I is at the Troll King's lair. As half the floor of the Guthrie opens upward like the hold of a cargo ship, white fumes belch forth as from an anteroom to hell. The trolls are quite droll. They are dressed in inky black frock coats and robes, their heads are chalk-white and they sport Miss Piggy snouts. The Troll King (Frederick Neumann) immediately recognizes Peer as a closet troll and lays down the primal law of trolldom, which is the leitmotiv of the entire play. As rendered in Rolf Fjelde's lyrical...
...brass, bounce and breastworks. The perpetrator is Rip Torn, a snake-eyed sneak who has been lifting the hubcaps off other people's scenes for years, but here moves up to capital crime. He may be the last actor left who can get a laugh out of a belch, and the first to get one by throwing a cat at a wall...
