...making a dent in your wallet, check out the action at the Faneuil Hall marketplace, where three of the local groups will perform in a free, outdoor mini-series. This Sunday Danceworks will entertain the crowd at 4, 5, and 6 p.m.; Dancentral and Becky Arnold and Dancers will follow suit, respectively, on May 6 and May 20. It's a great way to experience a small, painless dose of local talent, and, who knows, you may just end up liking...
Bloom's troubles begin with his characters. The protagonist is a human being named Perscors, whom we follow from earth to the planet Lucifer. Unfortunately, the hero has no personality to begin with, and picks up none along the way--Bloom just seems to forget to give him one.

Author Lippincott, who admits to having had "some intelligence connections," knows his Moscow and the schizoid style of its new aristocracy...
...motivation for the naming of the ARCO Forum appears to be founded on the same type of concern that prompted Susan Ford to promote Subaru. This in itself is distressing. It would be irresponsible for Harvard to follow a policy of endorsing consumer products for cash. Even if the University were to deny that the name of the Forum constitutes an endorsement, the public would still assume Harvard would not associate its name with an institution of which it did not approve. Moreover, it is well known that a prime objective of advertising is simply to publicize the product...
