...decades on the production of uniforms and work clothes. In 1967 two of Boss's grandsons, Uwe and Jochen Holy, took over the firm with the goal of moving it in a new direction. The brothers decided to make business suits for executives who want formality with a hint of flair...
...household; yet when ruin strikes, they rally loyally to him. The crucial question for every production is whether Orgon (a role Moliere himself played) deserves this fidelity. Is TartufFe an obvious rogue and Orgon therefore a buffoon who should know better? Or does Tartuffe maintain at least a hint of plausible sincerity? The latter approach enhances the play's tragic and cautionary dimensions; the former affords broader comedy and a villain to hiss...
...Taking a hint from their Broadway brethren, London impresarios have stocked their theaters with musicals. There currently are 19 on display, ranging from ripe chestnuts like The Boy Friend and West Side Story to such instant-nostalgia items as Peg (a new show based on the 1912 J.

Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and Lyricist Tim Rice, once the Midas men of British songwriting with the shows Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph...
...behind that celestial curtain and found a spectacular feature that has never before been closely observed: a band of gas 10 to 20 light-years thick, seemingly composed of lacy filaments, stretching up to 600 light-years above the plane of the Milky Way. The belt is the first hint that an enormous magnetic field may be far more important in shaping the core of the galaxy than had previously been imagined. Scientists have yet to gauge the full impact of the finding, but it could undermine existing theories about star formation at the galactic center and possibly illuminate...
Like Serban, Strehler introduces anachronisms into his production - the commedia dell'arte for the comic duo of Trinculo and Stephano, for example, and a hint of Peking opera mannerism for Ariel - but they effectively underscore the contrasts between the spirit and human worlds, making the confrontation even more pointed. This is a Tempest of clarity, strength and purpose - exactly what was lacking in the Royal Opera's Turandot. The cross-cultural irony is inescapable: the English company presenting the Italian opera had failed, but the Italians staging an English classic had made a glorious success...
