...Lowell House production seen in preview Wednesday night is a success, although credit must go to the score more than to anything else. The versatile set by William Buckingham manages to evoke a feeling of Victorian dinginess and boasts a high tower for the ghosts to appear on. The lighting, by director Daniel Freudenberger, gives us some chilling moments when the ghosts do appear. These scenes are also blocked effectively, but at other times blocking is clumsy and even ludicrous--as when the children play a halting game of hobby horse. Much of the dramatic tension of the script...
...difficult patient. He was something of a hypochondriac, Moran says, "and he takes instinctively to a quack." Once, when Sir Winston was planning to join General Alexander's army in southern Italy, Moran demanded that he take along a bottle of mepacrine, an antimalarial drug. Churchill resisted, telephoned Buckingham Palace to see if King George had ever taken the stuff (he hadn't). Wrote Moran: "Winston is just incorrigible.

The city yielded to neighboring Westminster and ultimately to the symbol of Victoria's empire, Buckingham Palace. After its latest shift, London's heart has come to rest somewhere in Mayfair, between the green fields and orators of Hyde Park and the impish statue of Eros in Piccadilly Circus...
...stop on a lollipop. The automaker's $11,000 gift is a scaled-down model of that piece of incredibilia James Bond drove in Goldfinger. Tooling around the playgrounds, Andrew can be in constant contact by two-way radio with headquarters at either Windsor Castle or Buckingham Palace. There is also a radar warning system with a three-mile radius, a protective bulletproof shield, and the punch of a button can send up a giant smoke screen or fire streams of water from the two rear reflectors. So cool it, nanny...
