When Branagh does use the period costumes to some effect, his motivation is questionable and questionably hairy. Hamlet, played by Branagh himself, wears black throughout, coupled with a lengthy trench-coat and cape for dramatic effect -- a trick already employed in his not-so-classic redux of Frankenstein. Nevertheless, Hamlet often also dons a white poet shirt, baggy enough to shift the audience's focus in several lengthy scenes to Branagh's chest hair...
...would have to start approximately three weeks before we do. That would have us beginning in the third week of August, cutting short internships and jobs that expect you to go through Labor Day. Further, many professors moan, starting before Labor Day would cut short their time on the Cape and at the Vineyard. However, starting in August, as most other Ivy-Leaguers do, seems a worthwhile tradeoff for finishing the semester before vacation, internships and the Vineyard notwithstanding. It would even be acceptable to shave four days off reading period and a few days off finals to allow...
...CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida: Two pieces of the space shuttle Challenger washed ashore near Cape Canaveral, almost 11 years after the explosion that killed all seven aboard. A beachcomber named Spider dragged both bits of wreckage out of the surf near Cocoa Beach, 20 miles south of Kennedy Space Center. By identifying the serial numbers on pieces of attached thermal tile, NASA was able to confirm the two pieces of metal, one 6 by 15 feet, the other 1 by 5 feet, were from the doomed shuttle. Challenger flew for 73 seconds after lifting off the pad at the Cape when...
...fact, prices can rise so fast that the independent funeral-home operators targeted by Mitford's first book suddenly find themselves to be death-care heroes. Rising prices have begun to erode the industry's historic immunity from bargain hunting. Consider Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where Loewen controls all but three funeral homes from Hyannis to Provincetown. (It offered to buy two of those three as well, but their owners declined.) The Massachusetts attorney general became concerned enough about Loewen's near monopoly to require the company to divest itself of three homes, a move of questionable value given that Loewen...
...CAPE CANAVERAL: Mars Pathfinder's long journey to the red planet must begin, like any other, with a single step. For NASA scientists, that first step was delayed again early Tuesday morning as Pathfinder's scheduled launch was scrubbed again for the second time in as many days. The weather, Monday's culprit, was near-perfect; this time a computer on the ground was to blame, failing with just over a minute remaining in the countdown. A backup computer also would not work, leading officials to suspect a software problem. NASA scientists say they must launch the $196M Pathfinder...
