...towners will drop by. This year, many of the hangers-on won?t be hanging around. ?Aida? closes next week, followed by ?After the Fall? and ?The Boy from Oz? (in two weeks) and ?Wonderful Town? (five weeks). At least the spouses of prominent Republicans will be able to catch these shows. Two others didn?t wait for possible G.O.P. spillage. Last weekend rang down the final curtain on ?Caroline, or Change,? the most affecting musical play I?ve seen in quite some time, and the farce revival ?Sly Fox,? which got a whole new cast, for naught, just...

The authorities had to transport their catch in 10 trucks. With so much weaponry pouring into Bangladesh, the country's gangsters and Islamic terrorists are well equipped to cause mayhem.

...widely used stress test, or treadmill test, may not be finely tuned enough to catch early heart disease, says a study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Researchers found that 56% of the more than 1,000 patients who passed a treadmill test, which measures how well the heart withstands exercise, scored above 100 on a follow-up screen for coronary calcium deposits. That puts them at elevated risk for a heart attack within five years. The study's authors say at-risk patients--such as smokers, diabetics or those with high cholesterol or blood pressure--should...
This humdrum era for stocks, which analysts say could last at least several more years, has given new life to strategies designed to profit in a stalled market. All but vanquished during the long bull run of the 1990s, "market timers"--who try to catch a stock's highs and lows as it trades in a narrow range--are sprouting again. So are "market neutral" investors, who through options and other techniques try to hedge away any market movement but gain from temporary stock-price discrepancies...
