...acrid haze drifted through the streets of the Chilean capital of Santiago last week as student demonstrators burned makeshift barricades and fought pitched battles with the national police. Along the bustling commercial street of Calle Providencia, middle-class women darkened their apartments and stood on their balconies at 8 p.m. to stage a one-hour cacerolazo, a rhythmic thumping of pots and pans. On the street below, motorists blew their horns and demonstrators hurled orange crates into a gigantic traffic jam that extended for some 20 blocks. The police, outnumbered, retaliated with tear gas, water cannons and dogs...
...management's door. According to William Abernathy and Kim Clark, two Harvard business school professors, and Alan Kantrow, a Harvard Business Review editor, the problems are not due to a sluggish economy, overpriced labor or predatory competition from abroad, but to managers who "view their work through a haze of outdated assumptions and expectations."

At his absurd journey's end he is crucified by four shodowy figures--one of them an unmistakable echo of Stalin...

He doesn't overwhelm with individual touches, but he does keep things moving deftly along, and he has had the good sense to let O'Toole follow his own course. My Favorite Year was produced by Mel Brooks...
Brown recreators David Yazbeck and Shaun Clark have preserved almost everything. Yes, including a new interpretation of the nude scene. From what's visible through a haze of red floodlights, everyone seems-to shake it quite confidently. The more demanding routines range from passable college-level performances you might encounter on the Dunster House Dining Hall stage to truly inspired renditions from a score which was gutsy and fun to begin with. The 19-member troupe does far better as a whole pushing the decibel level to something just short of a primal scream than do any of the principals...
