...must stop trying to cure the inner city's problems by perpetually increasing social investment and hoping for economic recovery to follow," Porter wrote in a 1995 article in the Harvard Business Review...
...will provide a safety margin to help prevent a duplication of Earhart's failed 1937 journey. Flint will use global positioning satellite technology to pinpoint her location, VHF radio communications to expedite landings and take-offs and an in-cabin computer to communicate via e-mail with school children following her flight on the Internet.

But straight plays these days too often seem like sitcom episodes padded out for an entire evening or like rough drafts for the Hollywood movies that will (if a play runs) surely follow. The surprise is that so many talented American playwrights--most of whom make their real money churning out screenplays--keep coming back to the stage, proving that theater can still, on those occasions when the stars and stage lights align, provide a magical experience...
