...slimy business - his specialty is divorce cases - who does mean things for fun. I still remember, from seeing the film 51 years ago, a scene where Hammer picks up a man's beloved old Caruso record and snaps it in two. (The same year I'd seen Blackboard Jungle, where the vicious high-school punks smash a teacher's Bix Beiderbecke records. So I knew Mike was a bad guy.) The music plays up his thug character as well. When Mike shows up in a doorway, we hear the clanging chords that usually greet the first appearance of a monster...
...genuinely looks and sounds like a gaggle of ten-year-olds. Technically, the production is as colorful and understated as the actors’ performances. Lighting plays an ingenious dramatic role and is crucial to the play’s finale. The aesthetic choices, from Lucy’s blackboard to Snoopy’s doghouse, form colorful geometric patterns, which are only enhanced by the set’s dark backgrounds. There are serious flaws, including a pit band that drowns out much of the cast’s singing, but they are too few and too sporadic...
...Cromartie High School, the first of five Japanese NYAFF movies I saw, is director Yudai Yamaguchi?s take on a teen delinquent genre that goes back at least to the 1955 Blackboard Jungle.

Everyone looks like a yakuza." That?s not quite fair...
...Peskin ’73, who was Wilson’s doctoral advisee at Cornell and is now a professor at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, recalls how Wilson synthesized all of elementary particle physics into the Standard Theory at a seminar in 1974.Wilson drew boxes on a long blackboard, and each box contained some known concept about elementary particles. Then he drew arrows between all the boxes, explaining the connections between concepts that seemed unrelated or even contradictory.“It was just one of the most amazing experiences of my life,” says Peskin...
...21st century phenomenon," said Levanos, who says "fate" brought her to the Sinai 20 years ago from Australia and she never left. "London, New York, Madrid, Dahab. It could happen anywhere." Then she took a piece of chalk and scribbled a message in big letters on Tota's blackboard menu facing the promenade. "Stop Violence Everywhere," it said. "Stop All War." It's a new, less celebratory slogan for Tota. But after three successive terrorist attacks in what ought to be one of the most tranquil places on earth, it seems grimly appropriate...
