...Broadway version by director-choreographer Kathleen Marshall, who also shepherded the 2000 revival, Eileen (now played by Jennifer Westfeldt, the star and co-writer of "Kissing Jessica Stein") is still the gal who gets pawed a lot and doesn't want it, and Ruth (Murphy) is still the big sister who isn't and does. I suspect that, if the show were done 30 or 50 years later, Ruth would be hungrier for women than for men. Even in this meticulous recreation of the 1953 show, there's a slightly lesbic undertone to the crooning and caressing in Ruth...

...country's ruling family, rather than the Kuwaiti national oil company, to fill some of its initial fuel orders. That deal is now the subject of an investigation by the Kuwaiti government and is also being looked into by the Pentagon, which says Altanmia's markup--about $1 per gal.--resulted in a $61 million overcharge. Halliburton says it used Altanmia only for fuel orders that had to be filled quickly, and then only with the approval of the U.S. military. Altanmia did not respond to a request for comment. Rex Wempen, co-founder of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce...

...moment, $2-per-gal. gas has sent the sale of hybrids zooming like a roadster. April was Honda's best month for its hybrid Civic (3,341 sold), and that followed a record-setting March. Toyota has a 20,000-order backlog for its critically acclaimed Prius and predicts a 50% sales increase over last year, to 50,000 units. All told, hybrid sales are expected to more than double this year, to 100,000. That's a tiny fraction of the U.S. market for new-vehicle sales, forecast to be around 17 million this year. But it's still...

...will have to play catch-up. GM has for years been publicly dismissive of hybrid cars. In January, vice chairman Bob Lutz described hybrids as "an interesting curiosity" and said, "We will make some," but added that they didn't make much sense with gasoline at $1.50 per gal. Gas prices are up 30% since then, but GM officials insist their strategy has not changed. The focus is still on delivering hybrid versions of SUVs and pickups while devoting the bulk of GM's future-power-train research into a commercially viable hydrogen-fuel-cell vehicle, which the company says...

...have plenty of detractors. Critics point out that after paying the extra cash for one, say a $2,500 premium for a hybrid Civic, it will take about a decade to recoup that amount at the pump (at 15,000 miles a year and with gas at $2 per gal.). They claim that if fuel economy becomes an even more important consideration, there are already plenty of fuel-efficient cars and smaller SUVs that are less complex and easier to fix than hybrids...
