...needed a stiff drink after the Harvard-Radcliffe Summer Theatre's presentation of Harold Pinter's play, "The Dumb Waiter." With remarkable restraint, Aaron Zelman and Mark Fish (the two characters Gus and Ben, respectively) pulled off what easily could have been a flat, boring piece of comedy. Under the direction of Chris Scully, they brought subtlety and nuance to the characters, fleshing out the obscure, ambiguous script to produce suspense and intensity...
...Fish plays the hot-tempered Ben with the explosiveness it requires. Unlike Zelman, however, he is not able to maintain the serious and earnest tone throughout his part. One reason for this is that his part calls on him to be the leader of the two of them. Ben reports to the "boss," Wilson. He calls the shots. He knows when they should arrive for a hit and when they should lay low and wait.

Particularly vulnerable are vineyards near lakes and rivers, where the bug lives, since spraying with pesticides is banned because of the danger to fish and water. In case of a sharpshooter onslaught, says viticulturist Jim Wolpert of the University of California at Davis, a grower's only recourse is to "yank the vines and start over...
...first of the wonders to emerge from Vu Quang and adjoining forests in Vietnam and Laos. In the past two years scientists have also found evidence of what appears to be two new species of deerlike creatures -- the giant muntjac and the quang khem -- and a novel species of fish resembling carp. Since exploration is still in its early stages, hopes are high that many more discoveries will follow. The area is "a biological gold mine," says MacKinnon, who has spent 25 years as a field biologist in Asia. Says Colin Groves, a taxonomist at Australia's National University...
