...Robert E. Woodruff, artistic director of the American Repertory Theater. “I think his humor is biting. It’s social, it’s political, truly an American voice.” Durang’s most popular plays include “Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You” and “The Marriage of Bette and Boo,” both winners of the prestigious Obie awards, the Off-Broadway Theater Awards bestowed by The Village Voice. The Harvard theater community has maintained a close relationship with Durang, performing...
TIME's Adi Ignatius got the Google triumvirate of Sergey Brin, Eric Schmidt and Larry Page to sit for a talk around a table covered with Lego pieces, for which they have a known fondness, during a break at Google's recent sales conference in San Francisco.

When the space shuttle Challenger exploded, some journalists wondered whether NASA had been under too much pressure from the White House to launch the craft. David Ignatius of the Washington Post decided to look instead at whether the press caused some of the pressure. He picked as his most egregious example this lead-in by Rather, broadcast the night before the blowup: "Yet another costly, red-faces-all-around space shuttle-launch delay. This time a bad bolt on a hatch and a bad-weather bolt...
