...lover and professional rival Des, a blunt newsmagazine bureau chief. "Jesus, I don't know why I'm so horny all of a sudden," Des says. "I guess nothing turns me on like a good story." To Washingtonians, the two sound suspiciously like Quinn and her husband Ben Bradlee, the executive editor of the Washington Post and a former Newsweek bureau chief. "Both Allison and Sadie are partly me," Quinn confesses. "Some of Des is Ben, some...
This became the tenor of the track meet. Sprinter Carl Lewis, the quadruple gold medal man of 1984, said, "The Russians just cheat." Reminded that it was a Jamaican from Canada (Ben Johnson) who dusted him in the 100 -- for the second time this year, incidentally -- Lewis reasoned, "They'll try to help anyone beat us."

And in this production, Evett and Johnson can hardly do wrong, expertly treading the line between man and spirit that make these two of Shakespeare's more difficult roles...
...Ben Evett and Kerrick Johnson really have it bad, though. Respectively playing wood sprite Ariel and the demidemon Caliban, they must cover themselves in body makeup. In the words of Kermit the Frog, it's not easy being green; it takes Ben an hour-and-a-half to apply the frog-colored goo that allows him to pass for a sprite. Later, with practice, he hopes to be able to go through the process in a mere hour...
