Outsiders want in; they fill Midtown's hotels and clot its traffic. Secular pilgrims, they trek to the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center (and to its fellow firs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and at Lincoln Center). They window-shop on Fifth Ave. - a promenade that remains the city's most bustling theatrical experience. And they see a holiday show - for the kids, and for the vestigial child in most adults...
...effect of the theatre is truly amazing," says Liu Xuefeng, a music critic and editor of the Chinese edition of Gramophone, the British classical music magazine. But there was a downside to the perfect sound system. "I could hear every word from the stage as well as from my fellow audience members ten seats away from me," says Liu. "Chattering, eating, children crying, camera flashes going off here and there... It was the worst audience I have ever seen!" The four-hour opera had already been shortened to slightly over three hours for the Chinese. But a collective sigh...

The specific lesson to be taken from this doesn't have much practical application, unless the dying start demanding a double room with a billionaire when they check in for their inoperable cancer surgery. But this movie exists...
...hear Huckabee tell it, he is the candidate who knows what it's like on the wrong side of the tracks. In other election cycles, Huckabee's fellow Republicans might have called this sort of talk the language of "class warfare," the bread and butter of John Edwards, the faux-populism of John Kerry. By tradition and ideology, the Grand Old Party has long avoided directly addressing America's deepening gulf in opportunity and income. For years, the conservative vision has held that all citizens, even the short order cook or the assembly line worker, benefit from a rising stock...
