...presidential bid, Gephardt, 61, looks remarkably like the brash young candidate he was then. His hair may be thinner, his jaw a bit thicker, but he still looks perpetually fresh-especially for a candidate many are ready to write off as shopworn. But he's been ignored in the buzz over new Democratic faces like Senators John Edwards and John Kerry. Like Bob Dole before him, Gephardt is finding it is hard to shape a bold presidential vision when his day job keeps him immersed in legislative minutiae. His passion doesn't come across on TV, nor does the realness...
August is usually the dreariest month for Broadway openings, a time for boring Shaw revivals and quirky little musicals that want to sneak in and out of town before the real blockbusters arrive in the fall. But the buzz over a quirky little musical called Hairspray is providing a rare lift for Broadway's dog days. Based on John Waters' 1988 cult film about an overweight, twist-era teenager who fights for racial integration on the dance floor, the show got ecstatic reviews during its pre-Broadway run in Seattle.

Opening next month on Broadway, accompanied by fervent buzz, is Hairspray, based on the campy John Waters movie and featuring ersatz '50s music by Marc Shaiman. Meanwhile, there's hardly a rock star or group from the '60s, '70s or '80s not about to be celebrated in a songbook musical reprising the greatest hits. We Will Rock You, a sell-out hit in London that boasts Robert De Niro among its backers, sets more than 30 songs of the '70s rock...
...appears set to merge Buzz and Basiq Air, its Amsterdam-based budget brand, in order to cut costs and streamline management. In retrospect, British Airways' exit from the low-cost business last year - when it sold Go to venture capital firm 3i for 3158 million, only to see Go be sold again to easyJet for almost four times the price - looks short-sighted indeed...
