DIED. ART CARNEY, 85, actor; in Chester, Conn. It was only a speck in a 50-year career that began in radio (a specialty was imitating F.D.R.), flourished on Broadway (where he was the original Felix Unger in The Odd Couple) and earned distinction in Hollywood (an Oscar for 1974's Harry and Tonto).

The score ranges from Brecht-Weill for the age of irony (Ich Bin Kunst...
...real problem with Taboo, for most critics, is the unspoken one: Rosie O?Donnell. The comedian and talk-show queen may well have been over her head. But let's give her some credit. She saw a show in London that was at the edge of what Broadway audiences would accept, and she gambled her own money to try to make it fly. She ran up against, not only some sizable creative hurdles, but a Broadway establishment that secretly resents an outsider (from TV, no less!) who presumes she can show the old guard...
