...exhibition features many large-scale dramatic paintings accomodated in galleries normally reserved for the museum's permanent collection. A highlight is Rubens's "Prometheus Bound" (1611-12), which shows Prometheus bound to Mount Caucasus as punishment by Zeus for stealing fire from the gods. Prometheus's pain is tangible to the viewer. His muscular body writhes and twists as an eagle digs his claws into the man's foreshortened body. With a bold diagonal composition and bravado brushwork, Rubens conveys human agony in the dynamic, engaging style typical of the Baroque period...

The highlight of its nine-play season is a spellbinding production of Granville Barker's The Marrying of Ann Leete, written in 1899 when the author was 22 and promptly dismissed as "a practical joke" by the Times of London. A century later, it feels startlingly fresh and new, its language conversational rather than expository, its events surprising...
Such reforms in some ways only highlight the need for a federal program. Only Washington can make certain that everybody is insured; after 19 years of trying, Hawaii still has 2% of its population uncovered. Many experts fear too that without federal standards covering everybody, the savings from managed- care programs will prove illusory; doctors and hospitals will shift costs from people who are enrolled in those programs to those...
