...Town starts with a thrill: a facsimile of the Brooklyn Bridge spanning the stage, with the orchestra perched on it. Three sailors (winsome Jose Llana, robust Robert Montano, gangly Jesse Tyler Ferguson) roam wartime New York and hook up with three gals (petite Sophia Salguero, glamorous Kate Suber, fireplug Lea DeLaria). They go places, do things, and the night air is magical, electric with fun. Wolfe brings Bergdorf mannequins and Natural History Museum troglodytes alive. Actors come with their own sound effects (taxi, subway, siren). It's like a vivid old New Yorker cartoon, animated by Tex Avery...
...thin celebrity who was never seen in an apron will do. Or at least her cook will. Scribner's most recent deal is with Jackie Onassis' chef of 25 years, Marta Sgubin, whose book will also be coming out next year. One celeb with a full menu is Sarah Ferguson, whose cookbook will reach stores in January. But don't bother salivating over such dishes as Pear-Port Quickbread, Roast Chicken and Chutney Tea Sandwiches and the Little Princess Birthday Cake. The trim Weight Watchers spokeswoman has renounced her claim to the title Duchess of Pork. The meals...
...Andrew Ferguson's musings, in "Me Tarzan, You Minivan," that men like sport-utility vehicles while women prefer minivans are full of sound and fury, signifying nothing [ESSAY, Aug. 4]. What Ferguson did get right is that very few SUVs ever perform any task more rugged than driving to the grocery store or picking up kindergartners. But to set up minivans vs. SUVs as a female-male battleground is an exercise in blowing hot air. Ferguson needs to look at the SUV in the lane next to him. The driver is probably not Tarzan at all--it's Jane! MARY...
...know what kind of Stepford time warp Ferguson lives in, but here in Vermont, the guy who services our office computer network drives a minivan; so does the gentleman who maintains the brochure racks in my office, and my caterer and contract furniture supplier. Not a housewife among them. Minivans are practical vehicles that can haul other things besides runny-nosed kids, flea-bitten dogs and henpecked husbands. Sport-utes can't match them for practicality and cargo or passenger space, the price is right and, frankly, a minivan will never be mistaken for the extension of macho man that...
With many qualified spokespeople to host a TV show in the U.S., why would ABC sign Sarah Ferguson to be an anchor [PEOPLE, July 14]? When she did the cranberry-juice commercial on television, people in my neighborhood could not understand what the Duchess of York was saying, so they did not buy the product. ABC should be ashamed even to consider her. What's wrong with Fergie's getting jobs at home? MARY G. WEAVER Chester...
