...Market, whose 900% growth in the 1990s has produced a billion-dollar juggernaut with 78 stores in 17 states. Whole Foods rose to dominance in a three-year buying spree during which it acquired New England's Bread and Circus, North Carolina's Wellspring Markets and California's Mrs. Gooch's. Last year the company swallowed its biggest rival, the 22-store East Coast chain Fresh Fields, leaving Whole Foods and Wild Oats Markets, based in Boulder, Colo.--one-quarter its size--as the only two national natural-foods chains...
This past weekend, Cambridge was brutally attacked by a play and a movie both detailing troubling boat trips half way around the world. The play, "Female Transport" by Steve Gooch, was directed by Jason Southerland, the Institute for Advanced Training's first year directing student, and showed some artistic potential, but was doomed to failure by its subject matter.

Gooch has done a staggering amount of original research, and his book serves as a useful introduction to the intelligence and energy O'Hara brought to his life and poems...
...times, this broad canvas tends to obscure the nuances of O'Hara's art. Gooch provides a detailed account of the party, argument or museum exhibit which inspired a particular poem, but usually offers little analysis of the aesthetic or linguistic concerns the poem explores. In some ways, this approach befits a poet who compared his poems to unmade telephone calls, but the overall effect sometimes privileges O'Hara's role as social butterfly over that of poet...
