...ease. Nora I. Bartosik ’08 accompanied with fine piano playing.The evening concluded with selections from Bernstein’s musicals. Again the impact of the music was diffused by unnecessary commentary, this time presented in near talk-show format from Jamie Bernstein and BBC veteran Humphrey Burton. The two spoke in between the eight numbers, offering occasional insight into the backgrounds of the pieces, but usually resorting to awkward jokes and forced interplay.Karen J. Adelman ’07 began with “I Can Cook Too” from “On the Town...
Honey. That word describes the tenor of both her voice and her roles. In 12 years as a star at the lion of studios, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and for decades afterward, June Allyson purred sweet reason to the prime men of her era: Jimmy Stewart (in three movies), Humphrey Bogart (in Battle Circus), William Holden (Executive Suite) and her husband, Dick Powell.

SHOPPING FOR PERFUME with consultant Olivier Aron, whose Paris-based firm R.O.S.A.E. tracks cosmetics consumers' behavior for companies including L'Oral, Guerlain and Este Lauder, is like going to the movies with a director. In Casablanca, you may see Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart romancing, but the director sees a wide-angle close-up sequence. Aron's passion is prowling the aisles to understand what makes shoppers reach for their wallets. At a Sephora perfumery in central Paris, for example, Hugo Boss's new men's fragrance, Energize, is thoughtfully organized on stand-alone shelves complete with dipsticks...
