RICHARD III. Ontario's Stratford Festival shows why it has become the biggest repertory company in North America in this robust 51-actor staging. Colm Feore cackles, skitters and charms as Shakespeare's bottled-spider King...
Just as the moral center of Hugo's Les Miserables is Valjean, so the driving force of the stage show is Colm Wilkinson. An Irish singer largely untrained as an actor until he originated the role in London, Wilkinson, 43, has a superb pop-rock voice, whether in the assertive Who Am I or the wistful Bring Him Home.

Finally, he asked his patients to lay off the trackwork. Within eight weeks, both had ovulated while taking half the original doses of clomiphene. Shortly thereafter both became pregnant...

Cronin had won the Irish National championships in the triple jump just last week with a mark of more than 53 feet, a distance which threatened to blow the Crimson jumpers out of the pits...
