...fashioned stage direction might introduce it like this: Old enemy king-hits writer. Depression. Gurr thought he was winning the arm-wrestle of writing one of his plays when it struck. "The marrow turns tepid, the skin spongy, the eyes dry, the feet stepping ahead in a flat counting-to-ten kind of way," he writes. "You begin to identify with inert objects. A fence post, a wardrobe, a cut stump in the park. You see these things and see yourself in them: a dead thing with a faint memory of flowing sap." Gurr respects the stealthy enemy...
...rise. Of the company's 15,000 workers, 94% took advantage of that offer this year. The data SCANA and other companies collect can then go toward disease management for such illnesses as diabetes and high blood pressure. At International Truck and Engine, where costs have remained flat the past two years, health professionals call chronically ill employees regularly (unless they opt out) to offer advice on care and medication. SCANA provides drugs through an in-house pharmacy. "We then can buy drugs at a wholesale price," says Joe Bouknight, SCANA's human-resources director. "In 2007 that will represent...
...captives were fed twice a day: chopped raw vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and onions, wrapped in flat, unleavened bread. Sometimes, a spoonful of hummus was added to the vegetables.

One by one, the captives were untied, and they filled...
...Broadway audition.Take the show out of Broadway, and you take the cool, meta-theatrical knick-knacks out of the show. This loss of irony killed the last quarter of Friday’s production. The extended, on-stage discussion about the state of dance, theater, Broadway, etc. fell entirely flat. I might care to hear professional dancers talk about struggles that are actually theirs, but when Katie W. Johnson ’07, as Cassie, says “I need a job” with tears in her eyes, it rings false.This cast has the unenviable task of making...
...actors (save Steinemann, who maintains a glacial calm throughout) go off the deep end with aplomb. Especially good are Lloyd-Bollard, as the perpetually-angry newscaster Sian, and Renaud, as the flighty and emotionally fragile artist Wynne. When the play aims for genuine pathos, however, it falls a bit flat, since the characters have long since gone beyond the realm of realistic emotions and into the heightened world of satire. The audience is asked to shift from gawking to sympathizing a little too quickly. Videt and the actors do the best they can with this hairpin turn, but can?...
