Moving on over to the silkier realm of the popworld, Blue Wail was blessed with a good vocalshowing but was stricken by the same dearth oforiginality as the Voodoo Crabs. Except for thesparkling "Island," a well-crafted, smooth andheartfelt selection under-appreciated by theaudience, the band showed that it needs to work onmaking its sound more unique...

...Cleveland Avenue grammar school in Atlanta, children go through six-and-a-half hours without any free time, except for a 30-minute lunch. Even then they must sit at the table and cannot mill about and talk to friends. The building itself, built two years ago, does not even have a playground. When five-year old Toya Gray was asked about recess, she was puzzled. "What's recess?" she asked. Something is terribly wrong here...

...smile on Moore) cantankerously predict disappearing markets, and Moore smiles and nods, marching off to recite such stellar observations to the front desks of corporate America, never stopping to introduce the complexities of these problems to his audience.

...conversational composure. Saadi Soudavar '00 in particular, in his enviable starring role as the "Unidentified Guest" delivers thunderingly philosophic lines with a disarming confidence that keeps the play from the brink of mental boorishness.
