...available in scattered counties in 10 states, including California, Wisconsin and Texas. It helps prevent families from being separated, reunites them after a separation or serves as a way station while parents decide whether they want to relinquish their parental rights. At a time when the failure of the classic child-welfare system is grabbing headlines across the country (a little girl missing for 15 months in Florida before officials even noticed; a young boy dead and his brothers starving in a New Jersey basement), some social workers are pushing shared family care as a possible solution.

...Anna Sui's latest runway show, inspiring trendsetters to take up the needle. Sales of needlepoint purse kits are up in some craft shops, and fashionable boutiques are selling needlepoint bracelets.

Tickets are $7 students / $10 regular and are available at the Harvard Box Office...

Reilly are surprisingly watchable in this furiously edited, expensive adaptation of the murderous Broadway classic. Die-hard Bob Fosse fans may leave screaming in disgust, but fortunately for the rest of us director Rob Marshall knows the difference between film and theater, and milks it with remarkable excess.
