...Martha's Vineyard to drop off Lauren, then on to Hyannis Port. Earlier, Kyle Bailey, a local pilot, had canceled a planned flight from Essex because of a troubling haze that had already reduced visibility. Bailey decided to ground himself when he looked off in the distance for a familiar mountain ridge but couldn't see it. "That is a test that most pilots use at the airport," he says...
Caroline chose St. Thomas More, a small, neighborhood Roman Catholic church a few blocks from their mother's Fifth Avenue apartment, where she and John had gone to Mass as children. Despite reports of family friction over the choice of venue, a source familiar with the arrangements told TIME, "From Day One, it was always going to be at this church."

...model sounds familiar, there's a reason: it's very like what the U.S. did in the 1990s. That was the decade in which the U.S. had to dramatically restructure its economy for a new, postindustrial age after the violent recessions of the 1970s and early '80s.

Location, it turned out, was just about the only thing the flat had going...
...Compleat Works boasts a widely experienced directorial and production crew. A quick glance at the program reveals that the actors are not the only veterans of Harvard theater. Despite its cast of familiar Harvard names, this is not a Harvard production. This summer's performance of The Compleat Works was staged by Summer Stages, a company established by the cast and crew. Co-directors Jerald Korn and Elena DeCoste said that when they realized how many experienced actors, directors, producers, and crew members were staying in Cambridge for the summer, they decided it would be worth the risk to establish...
