...Dench gave two of the great stage performances of all time. "No interval, but straight through," says Dench, 74, of their Macbeth. "And not a normal kind of production at all. Plain black costumes, all very simple in a very small, dark place. We all stood round an orange box." The play was, as Dench says, "a breakthrough." The minimalist production, directed by Trevor Nunn, spawned a thousand imitations. Of McKellen, Shakespearean scholar Bernice W. Kliman gushed: "No other actor has so well depicted the existential nausea of a man who has chosen evil...
...slow to do it, citing the expense and security. Disney chairman Dick Cook is credited with breaking the initial logjam with Chicken Little in 2005. About 75 theaters converted to digital to show the film, and a surprising thing happened: 3-D theaters reported three to four times the box-office gross as those that showed the 2-D version. (All 3-D movies can easily be stepped down to 2-D and are typically shown in both forms.) That was the jump start digital 3-D needed. Katzenberg predicts that more than 2,000 theaters will...

It might appease our restless animal spirits for a time; biologists have found that receiving an apology affects blood chemistry, slows the heart rate and calms our breathing - all much needed at a moment of national fibrillation.

Late weekend nights in the Quad became an excuse to lug my speakers, a box of ties, or my worn Hillary Clinton poster to my new room. These new roomies didn’t merely let me store my junk in the ready-to-burst walk through. My personal memorabilia joined theirs on the wall, in this room I now referred...
...Jury Team is opening its doors to almost anyone: "If a few oddballs or eccentrics run, I don't mind it," Bell says. "It's time for a people's insurrection." But organizers still intend to weed out extremists: during registration, candidates must click a box confirming that they won't discriminate on the basis of gender, race, religion or sexual orientation, and that they will behave honestly and selflessly.
