...Director Gale Edwards, an Australian who staged a first-rate London revival of Jesus Christ Superstar in 1996, has put together a smooth, unshowy production, which combines functionality (a slab of concrete rises and lowers to create a two-tiered set) and lovely images (two teenagers riding a motorcycle in the mist against a deep-blue, storybook night sky). If the musical fails to capture the film's gentle ironies, it adds some intriguing sexual tension between the stranger (a charismatic Marcus Lovett) and the chief child (Lottie Mayor, several years older than Hayley Mills in the film...
...growing in enrollment by about 20% annually, says Jules LaPidus, president of the Washington-based Council of Graduate Schools, which represents 430 institutions. At Stanford's business school alone, the number of participants in its executive-education program is up almost 50% since 1991, according to program director Gale Bitter.

"What they have found lucrative is designing derivatives. But if you're using derivatives and you don't understand the technology or you don't know what you're doing, there is a real danger...
...tightly coiled executive producer (played by Miguel Ferrer of Twin Peaks), who humors Freundlich with drunken promises of future anchordom written on a cocktail napkin; the booker (Sanaa Lathan), who reports that the Pontiff is unavailable but she has on hold the guy who shot him. There's Gale, who ridicules Freundlich's melodramatic pauses but turns down an on-air spot with another network because it is not as dedicated to journalism as he is. And there's Mona (Catherine Lloyd Burns), McKenzie's personal assistant, so toadying that she wears a lint brush around her neck...
