Throughout the film, Lee runs about, repeatedly pushing one lady friend aside to make room for the next. Just as Lee never settles down with any one of his companions, Allen also flits about, refusing to stick to any element of the film long enough to develop it into an integral part of a complex structure...

...production was updated for a '90s audience; this may well be the case, as Boston Conservatory faculty member Michelle Chass redid the choreography for this performance.

Though winsome Emm Gryer, who opened the concert with a derivative, folky set, seemed entirely in her element with the crowd, the Cardigans were adorably incongruous in their neat, Eurotrash sweaters and sleek leather pants. In fact, as singer Nina Persson revealed during the performance, their native Sweden observes Halloween not as a night of costumed revelry, but as a solemn day of remembrance, putting flowers...

Hicks: No, I don't feel like this is a constant element of my life. It's just something I dip into every once in a while for a reaction and for fun. It's a way to escape the monotony of hackneyed college life. My personal motto is, "Don't let yourself be caught in the same old path. Walk all the walks and have delirious amounts...
