...Chalk it up to its '70s-hippie origins that this multibillion-dollar company has, at its heart, a mission statement that is warm and fuzzy. In fact, it is that revolutionary sense of wonder and possibility, combined with industry savvy and a highly relevant message of global health and integrity, that has helped Whole Foods become the fourth largest food chain in the U.S. and the biggest and most profitable retailer of natural and organic foods on the planet...
...play isn’t limited to the lines and their delivery. The instant the audience enters the theater, the near-mad franticness of the play takes hold. The area under the seats is open, and between the supports, Hanson is naked, blindfolded, and frantically scribbling with chalk on glass set into the floor.

His despairing figure is reduced to fragments: the first drawing concentrates on his torso and legs and his strained posture. On the next sheet...
...group of local leaders took Yu on a tour of their project. Chalk lines marking the lake's proposed shores ran through villages and along roads. Yu leapt out of the car to take photos of a pair of bulldozers that looked tiny against the vast swath of empty land where they were mounding up dirt. Bounding past the officials, he turned his camera on a bird's nest high up in a poplar next to the mineral spring supposed to supply the lake. "He even takes pictures of that," marveled one official when Yu was out of earshot. Driving...
