Hervé Courtain, as Puck, did an admirable job of portraying the whimsical role, which requires heavy amounts of acting and comic timing for a dancer. His rather feminine body (very apparent in the lack of a costume that Puck is required to wear) did not quite fit, however, with the particularly athletic style of Puck’s choreography.

When I'm allowed on the machine, I hit Windows-L and instantly hot-key into my own account (a desktop built on a Daniel Clowes comic). Whatever programs my daughters are running continue to run, invisible to me but waiting for their return. This is hugely useful and a big hit. But coupled with Microsoft's push into your private life--you also have to register online or by phone to activate XP, and messages...

But then she also claimed to have spoken with God in a secret language GEORGE SPEIGHT Fijian coup-maker campaigns from his prison cell and wins a seat in Parliament. Hey, that makes him kind of like Mandela and Havel! THE CONCORDE Supersonic planes get O.K. for return to service. Never mind what the global economic meltdown has done to CEOs' travel budgets Losers BRITNEY SPEARS Slammed by animal-rights activists for plans to bring cheetahs onstage, she totes a snake instead.
