...through the state-on snowshoes. Benjamin Fernandez, a Californian who wants more private-sector loans to small business, will be on the ballot, hoping to attract New Hampshire's nearly nonexistent Hispanic vote. A maker of stuffed frogs from New Jersey has indicated his intention to run, or hop, on behalf of "lowcost government...
...reason that so many are willing is that for many mainlanders the gloss has gone off some once fashionable Caribbean and Mexican resorts. The dollar is worth a dollar, almost. The natives speak English, sort of. It is a fairly easy hop for U.S. Westerners, who account for 80% of Maui's visitors (though 600 people a day flew from New York City en route to Maui on United alone last year).

Brook mines all the playwright's caustic, worldly wit. A line from Enobarbus, who tells of seeing Cleopatra "hop 40 paces through the public street," inspires him to make the Queen's court a frolicking, unregal place where games and horseplay abound. With the help of Designer Sally Jacobs' simple set, he reaches boldly for a world that cannot be onstage: the great battles. The foreground is partly...
