...look or sound like a Jacobean tragedy about love, murder and intrigue. The metallic scaffolding and leather jumpsuits that comprise Michael H. Yeargan's sets and costumes could have been borrowed from an episode of "Battlestar Galactica." Brustein's characters speak their lines at breakneck speed and with near-feverish emotion to give Middleton's rhyming text the language and feel of everyday speech. No stuffy parlor play this...
...corner, to ascribe to us, as so many times in the past, every mortal sin--from unleashing an arms race to "aggression" in the Middle East, from violations of human rights to some scheming or other even in South Africa. This is not a state policy, it is a feverish search for "forces of evil...
...airlines remain caught in a feverish scramble to innovate that can bewilder consumers. They juggle their routes constantly, adding a city where competition is light and dropping ones where an abundance of rivals has slashed profits.

Stephan's Odyssey finished second, more than five lengths behind, and the 6-to-5 favorite, Chief's Crown, was third. Far up the track, or at least it seemed so, came that old plug tradition, which may be losing ground even...
