...loved it.Although the play’s lines and plot were mostly taken from the movie, the resulting spectacle was vastly different. In the absence of special effects, the characters’ awe at the dinosaurs became absurd. Upon arriving at the island and seeing a “Brontosaurus,” Alan Grant (Adam Endres) fell to the ground in hysterical amazement. The Brontosaurus’s legs—two tall pieces of painted cardboard that actors tapped on the ground in sync with thumping sound effects—appeared unfazed. Later on, to simulate saving young...
Then markets calmed, the Dow cracked 14,000, and the world got back to business. Don't count on that happening forever--today's jitters do probably presage something worse. "Rather like a brontosaurus that has been bitten on the tail and most of the body hasn't noticed it yet, the signal is working its way up the vertebrae," says Jeremy Grantham, chairman of Boston money manager GMO. But even the bearish Grantham doesn't see the reckoning coming tomorrow or even necessarily next year. And in the meantime, something with far more impact on most Americans' lives than...

On its seaward-facing side, it consists of just an elliptical wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that are wedged directly into the land like the filling in a pita pocket. There are also no detectable corners in that snaking brontosaurus house, a proposal from 2005 that Kaplicky calls Villa. Although no one has opted yet to build one, Kaplicky's firm has adapted the form for a floor lamp...
...melancholic tones and predictable rock chord progressions that lead to their own extinction in your consciousness. Or perhaps it’s the sense of menace, magnified by Valle’s low whisper, that curls you into the song’s harmonic arms while the brontosaurus beat stomps forward. The tracks rotate upon revolving choruses and repeating lines (e.g. “There’s no harm / There’s no harm / There’s no harm done”) but the circles shift sufficiently to make the songs interesting. Slow harmonic builds like...
