...memories of good times. As one Rome-based American allows, "It's a great year to be in Europe, to be thin and to have dollars." And stamina. Never in peacetime have so many Yanks deployed themselves across the map of Europe in search of entertainment, uplift and, dammit, a good time. It may all prove a little too much for some. But England, as usual, has the answer. Its name is Ragdale Hall. A gracious old country manor in the midst of the rolling Leicestershire hunt country, it exists to restore and rehabilitate vacationers who are suffering from...
...Kermit. No Bert and Ernie. Sam the Nixonian eagle and Grover, with his perpetually pubescent voice, are elsewhere. This movie is serious: Jim Henson's foray into the art, dammit, of puppetry. With the help of Star Wars Producer Gary Kurtz, Faeries Artist Brian Froud, fellow Muppeteer Frank Oz and $26 million, Henson has devised a luxuriantly original fantasy world as dark as the magic crystal totem at its center. The setting is "another world, another time, in the Age of Wonder." A war between the benevolent Mystics (who look like shaggy-dog anteaters) and the evil Skeksis (pustular...

The story goes that he puts a rubber tube into his mouth and stays submerged for two to three minutes (although one press account has inflated the figure to 20 minutes...

...daydream of an alternative self is a strange, flitting thing. This wistful speculation often occurs in summer, when a vacation loosens the knot of one's vocational identity. Why, dammit, says the refugee from middle management on his 13th day on the lake, why not just stay here all year? Set up as a fishing guide. Open a lodge. We'll take the savings and . . . The soul at odd moments (the third trout, the fourth beer) will make woozy rushes at the pipe dream. Like a gangster who has cooperated with the district attorney, we want...
