...Jerry's, the newest entrant in the Harvard Square ice cream market, is trying to earn 1,600 new customers this year by donating all the ice cream for Monday night's first-year ice cream bash. But the move has drawn protest from Herrell's Ice Cream owner Jessica G. Leahy, who fears smaller ice cream stores will no longer get exposure to first-year consumers...
...debate may also give the Texas governor a chance to catch McCain off-guard. The only other entrant so far in the Iowa debate is the perennially shameless and camera-awkward Steve Forbes, while McCain has yet to announce whether he'll enter the debate. He hasn't done any campaigning in Iowa and said he would only engage in one debate there, in January.

Brian Dennehy, in the new production from Chicago's Goodman Theatre that opens (with some minor cast changes) on Broadway this week, is a solid entrant in the big-Willy tradition. He's a charismatic man who, it's easy to imagine, might actually have been liked, even well liked, in his prime. Yet his lumbering frame seems constantly ready to tip over, a giant reduced to childlike confusion...
