...police forced him to get out of his car. Now he can see the fire heading for his house, and not a fire fighter in sight. "It's gonna go," he mutters. His eyes are on the ground, dejected, but his hair dances in the fierce wind, and shadows flicker across his face. Suddenly he spies the cat -- a black beauty named, of all things, Santa Ana Winds -- and stuffs her in a small cage. The animal is frightened, moaning. Miller is not much better. He begins to cry. "I don't know what to do now," he says...
There is still a chance that what Griest found was some bizarre kind of variable star, but the fact that the French saw the same flicker in an entirely different type of star argues against that possibility. The next step is to comb through another million observations already stored in the computer. If nothing more shows up, it means MACHOs alone can't account for all the dark matter. Attention would then shift to the hunt for undiscovered subatomic particles. But if several more MACHOs -- Griest won't say exactly how many -- pop out of the computer, then they could...

And in Now or Never Land, Midnight Oil invites the listener to "dream a South Pacific dream of now or never land/ Suitcase full of good ! ideas/ History that's filled with tears/ Kill nostalgia, xenophobic fears/ It's now or never land." It's an urgent...
...show, Putting It Together, is loosely conceived as a party at which old flames flicker and new ones spark. To quote Sondheim's nearest intellectual forebear, Cole Porter, what a swell party it is. With new material from Sondheim, designs by three Tony winners, choreography by Bob Avian (A Chorus Line, Miss Saigon) and a cast headed by Julie Andrews in her first New York stage appearance since Camelot in 1961, the show seems absurdly overabundant for its venue, a nonprofit house seating 299. But then, impresario Cameron Mackintosh (Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables) has been showing up night...
