...first act and was intricately staged considering the huge amount of dancers involved. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the whole night was not an act at all—it was the set. The gigantic jungle-scape—that was miraculously transformed into golden fields beneath a blue sky for the second act—made abundantly clear the immense amount of effort and care that went into the production. Complete with life-size sculpted elephants emerging from the backdrop, the Ghungroo set, in all its beauty and intricacy, deserves heaps of praise on its own. The audience...
...Dubai Ports controversy. Or it could be a much needed discussion about how the U.S. should respond to the impact of globalization on domestic economic stability, homeland security and foreign policy. Fat chance of the latter, you say, and you're probably right-but there are real issues beneath the bluster. And the nation's continued strength and prosperity are very much at stake...

Beneath his bland exterior, Paxton subtly shows the pressures of trying to be the breadwinner of a '50s-style household (that would be the 1850s) in the 21st century. And the polygamist compound where Bill grew up keeps pulling him back, Corleone fashion, from the 'burbs, driving the plot in dark, gripping directions. Stanton is perfectly cast as the pious, menacing Roman, who insists on the cut from the second store, although, legally, Roman is an investor in only the first. "There's man's law, and there's God's law," he warns...
