...with an array of competent Broadway vets. Roger Bart (the gay assistant in The Producers) is likable, but only that, as Dr. Frankenstein. Sutton Foster, one of Broadway's song-and-dance wonders, seems to be slumming as the Swedish bombshell Inga, a part any one of a dozen actresses could have played. The dizzy Megan Mullally (of Will and Grace) seems wrong as the doctor's uptight fiancé. Andrea Martin, that SCTV pro, is probably best in show with her funny, full-throated turn as Frau Blucher. Still, Young Frankenstein's one advantage over The Producers is that...
...often much closer than a museum-goer could ever be. On one spread we see butterflies or beetles arrayed by the dozen in a display drawer; the next might hold one or two of those specimens, captured with a macro lens at 10 or 20 times their size. If the artist on show here is Nature, the close-ups only increase one's awe. How many ways can you design the jaws of a beetle? How many possible patterns are there on a moth's wings? How can there be so many kinds of scales, from butterfly fuzzy to fish...
...other than a few dozen politicians and party workers, the streets surrounding Bhutto's house were swarming almost exclusively with journalists and security forces. Even when Bhutto managed to tear her way out of the house and address her public from the open sun-roof of a white land cruiser parked out front, a crowd of teenagers at a nearby empty lot continued to play cricket. The local-language press - generally cynical and conspiracy-minded - grumbled about the theatrics of the whole event, pointing out the lack of visible grass roots support for Bhutto in both Islamabad and Rawalpindi...
...male nude fetched $48,000, or triple its estimated price. Part of the reason Zakii's paintings are soaring in worth is because of their relative scarcity, which ironically also accounts for his modest profile among Southeast Asian artists. Sotheby's and Christie's have sold around half a dozen Zakii works each over the past several years. It's a trickle compared to the flood of paintings by his peers - the Indonesians Yunizar, Nyoman Masriadi or Putu Sutawijaya, for instance, all of whom have received lots of attention in Asian art circles. "A big body of his work...
...beginning of the real campaign after more than a year of fund-raising and inside baseball. And her performance seemed a crystallization of the problems that have always plagued Clinton, the notion that she is perpetually calculating, triangulating and cold, without core convictions. On the other hand, in several dozen interviews over a weekend in Iowa, I simply couldn't find anyone who had actually seen the debate - not even among the political junkies who attend her meetings. Clinton's public demeanor at these rallies suggested that she had taken the punch and moved on, even if her campaign briefly...
