...gray concrete that compose Charlesview Apartments contrast sharply with the white finish of its neo-Georgian neighbor, Harvard Business School (HBS). The stairwells smell like rotting metal and the concrete steps are worn. American flags and Easter baskets adorn the scratched red and blue doors. Bicycles and television buzz overflow into the landings. Inside the apartments there is wall-to-wall carpeting, a couch, a television. Some contain two stories and many open onto private decks. In 1995, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) identified the apartments as “troubled” property in need...
...little after noon one Monday in late January, a buzz of anticipation filled the cafeteria of the No. 1 Elementary School in the sleepy former whaling town of Shirahama, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan.

Theater critics don't getto act like regular civilians very often, but when it comes to Julia Roberts, extraordinary measures are called for. The Hollywood star has prompted major buzz--and sellout crowds--for her impending Broadway debut, in Richard Greenberg's play Three Days of Rain, opening officially on April 19. So I wandered down to the Bernard B. Jacobs Theater to see just how tough it is to land a ticket.
