...Indian Wants the Bronx, Joey (Mark Fish) and Murph (Blake Lewit) crash onto the stage belting "Baby, You Don't Care," Horovitz's over-obvious attempt to assert their alienation. These characters nearly explode with nervous energy, punching, teasing and jostling each other. When Joey and Murph realize that they are being watched by Gupta (Ganesh Ramakrishnan), a lost East Indian immigrant, they outdo each other trying to include him in their banter. Soon their nervous energy spins out of control, and their playfulness becomes destructive...
...work says his wife had acupuncture for her tennis elbow, and it worked. Or he knows a chiropractor who does wonders with sore backs. Or your sister-in-law comes back from the health-food store with the name of a woman who does shiatsu.

In the 1960s, for example, flood-control canals transformed South Florida's wild Kissimmee River from a sinuous network of oxbows and tributaries into a stagnant ditch. The disastrous result: nearly 18,200 hectares (45,000 acres) of prime wetlands disappeared. Waterfowl and fish populations plummeted. Last year, in a startling about-face, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the South Florida Water Management District proposed to unleash the Kissimmee by filling in 47 km (29 miles) of canal and removing three flow-control systems. The projected cost: at least $422 million...
...quest at times seems impossibly romantic, restorationists display a refreshing pragmatism. Rather than demanding that all hydroelectric dams be dynamited, river restorationists insist that power generators install fish ladders and adjust water flows to help salmon and trout reach upstream spawning grounds. Al Steuter, manager of the Nature Conservancy's 20,800- hectare (51,400-acre) Niobrara Valley Preserve in Nebraska, hopes to demonstrate how ranchers can run cattle on restored prairies without destroying them. After all, he asks, "what's the point of restoration if we have to station guards to protect the landscape...
