...Boston Ballet's The Nutcracker, one of the most popular ballets of all time, is back in its 33rd year of seasonal splendor at the Wang Center and it features some of the cutest creatures ever to grace the stage. Clara and her Victorian-style ilk may have the fluffiest and most elaborate dresses the dancers from the Palace of Sweets may don more elaborate sequin patterns than the average prom queen but the stars of the show are the adorable animals. The repertoire of the dancing bear (danced by Zach Grubbs, Marc Estrada or James Mills) rivals the average...

'How Stella Got Her Groove Back' burbles along cheerfully but lacks the satirical bite of 'Waiting to Exhale. There isn't much to the story, which amounts to woman meets boy, gets boy. The author will have to crank...
...column, a new dish is seldom simply "good"; instead, when it was put before her, "a happy little moan escaped the lips." She can embellish even the fluffiest souffle with her brandied prose: "It came perfumed of the hot sugared fruit and toned with the magic of some liqueur . . . The waiter's spoon dipped in. and the souffle responded with a rapturous, half-hushed sigh as it settled softly to melt and vanish in a moment like smoke or a dream...
