...last saw George early this year in a Manhattan Theatre Club presentation of Paul Rudnick's Regrets Only. This time he was a fashion designer who moves from comfortably gay to politically gay. Again he was matched with a firecracker actress (Christine Baranski), and again he gave a performance that located every laugh without strangling it. I thought the play was funny and poignant, halfway to profound, but the proposed move to Broadway never materialized. George did, though, when Mary and I and some friends greeted him after the final curtain. Vibrant on stage, he seemed a little more subdued...
...difficult trade-off of being an effective person and being someone who actually stands for something,” said Barrios, who left the Senate in July to become president of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation. About 15 students listened intently as Barrios, the first openly gay Hispanic state senator in Massachusetts, shared the lessons he learned from being a minority in public service.

The world's two top sprinters, Tyson Gay of the United States and Asafa Powell, the 100-meter world record holder from Jamaica, have a nice little rivalry, and you'll hear about it ad nauseam in the months before the '08 games. But it's hard for me to get too excited about it. Sure, Gay...

He took that cachet and banked it on a Mandarin-language drama that has earned the Motion Picture Association's NC-17 rating (no children under 17). That rating will keep Lust, Caution out of many cinemas because lots of theater owners won't show films with a rating harder than R. Nor, if current standards hold, will the dvd be available at Wal-Mart or Blockbuster. But the $83 million theatrical take of Brokeback makes some...
