...difficult dance involving steins and the praising of beer is performed. One would think that, for all the child-directed points of this musical, that the scene would not include so much...well, beer. In addition, though the stein dance is obviously intricate and difficult, it pales in comparison to the other tricks of the musical, and becomes disappointingly boring. Also, the menagerie that is "Be Our Guest" is done in true all-out Disney fashion--the plates on the dancers' backs spin around, and even the rug from "Aladdin" shows up--but that doesn't change the fact that...
...four of his subordinates. But with Hale in retirement, "the real question is whether the Army is going to do anything about it," says Thompson. Hale can be recalled to active duty in order to be court-martialed. "The perception that the Army allowed Hale to retire and the comparison with the Gene McKinney case creates the appearance that officers of higher rank are more likely to get off," says Thompson. "That perception has a corrosive effect on the forces. The need to show both the rank and file and Capitol Hill that there are no double standards may create...
...what should you buy? That depends on what you need. The pricing and performance of the drives and storage medium--as I show on my website at time.com this week--make for good comparison shopping.

The SuperDisk drive has its own 120-MB discs but can run regular old floppies too. And if you can wait until late fall...

Everything Nikki does to try and show Dante the success she's made of her life seems to pale in comparison with his accomplishments, making her thwarted attempts at revenge all the more priceless...
...wishes notwithstanding, it is not likely that Graham will be remembered as a dancer, at least not very clearly: films of her performances are scarce and mostly primitive. Much of her choreography has failed to wear well, especially by comparison with the work of George Balanchine, the unrivaled master of neoclassical ballet, and Taylor and Cunningham, her apostate alumni. No more than half a dozen of her dances, most notably Cave of the Heart and Appalachian Spring (1944), her radiant re-creation of a pioneer wedding, seem likely to stand the test of time. The rest are overwrought period pieces...
