Amateur test drivers might be the only thing that holds back Japan's second biggest automaker. Honda last month showcased its prototype green technologies, including clean-running diesel engines, new ethanol cars and high-performance hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. The burst of innovation is part of a move to take advantage of high gas prices, which have helped the fuel-efficient company increase U.S. sales 8% in the year's first six months and reclaim its status as a leader in green tech...

Nonetheless, Pastel made sure that the most important elements of the play—the allusions and intertexuality of quotations—were clearly emphasized through the actors’ clean delivery of their lines.Stoppard’s “A Separate Peace,” the second play in the program, is a comedy centered on a mysterious man, John Brown (Sean R.
