...topical revue by the young Moss Hart (then 27) and the veteran Irving Berlin (43; he'd live to 101), it has one hit song, "Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee," and lots of impudent attitude, which the revival nicely preserved under John Rando's direction. An expert cast led by Encores! stalwarts Judy Kaye and Walter Bobbie found the fun of bankrupt millionaires and amiably venal cops improbably involved in putting on a Broadway show. It was swell, though I might have preferred Encores! to present Hart and Berlin's next revue, As Thousands Cheer, with a richer...
...annual meeting of all 193 member nations of the WHO, which begins May 14. Indonesia has been weathering criticism of its response to bird flu since the outbreaks began, but the country will come under intense international pressure if it continues to abstain from sharing. One international health expert based in the region notes that Jakarta hasn't been shy about asking for international help in controlling the disease in chickens, claiming that bird flu had originated outside its borders. "But when it comes to sharing samples, they take the position that the virus belongs to them," the expert said...
...Despite its recent refusal to share samples, Indonesia has actually been fairly open about bird flu and prompt in reporting new cases - considerably more so than China, which remains a "black hole of bird flu data," according to the expert.

Supari told TIME that "the current unfair access to vaccines worsens the global inequality between the rich and the poor, between the North and the South - and I think that is more dangerous than a pandemic." Unless Jakarta changes its policy...
...most recently added the title "antichrist," (although apparently without any Satanic intention) and his apostles have taken to tattooing "666" on their hands. Along the way, he has developed adherents - he claimed "millions" of followers to ABC in what his website says are 30 countries, although no expert feels competent to pin a number on them - while making his fair share of enemies; he is reportedly banned in several nations, in one case because his movement disrupted services by Roman Catholic churches...
...Latin America, but my colleagues say he doesn't have much of an international following. But really, we have no way of knowing whether or not it may ultimately spread beyond this." Thomas Tweed, Chair of the religion department at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and an expert in Miami's religious history, doubts, as do several other scholars, that de Jesus' renown will extend much beyond the Latino community unless he preaches more regularly in English or finds someone to do it for him. But then again, these days a phenomenon does not need to break...
