...When I was able to look at the stage (and away from the dreadful red velvet motif of the auditorium), I saw what looked very much like a national tour of a show currently on Broadway. Same book, same songs, slightly scaled back set, medium level stars who were inferior to their Broadway predecessors, and an audience who loved it all-the-same. Truth be told, if Brian Stokes Mitchell, Marin Mazzie, Amy Spanger and Michael Berressee weren’t so dazzling in the Broadway production, I might too have found the production wunderbar, but the cast largely disappointed...
...again." For this year's title and last year's, the Ferrari has been the best, most consistent car on the circuit. But his first two championships, for Benetton in 1994 and 1995, were in a way even more impressive, having been won in a car that was inferior to the then-dominant Williams. So what is Schumacher's secret, if it's not always having the best car? "I'm probably not a bad racing driver," he said with considerable understatement after the Hungarian race.

Between 1907 and 1964, tens of thousands of people deemed "genetically inferior"--including many poor people, minorities and petty criminals--were sterilized by law in some 30 states.

...hatch" design that many shipyards simply weren't equipped to produce. The ships will carry lumber and paper to the Far East and return filled with cars, snowmobiles and industrial equipment. The built-in retractable cranes will allow the ships to load and unload quickly, even at ports with inferior or damaged equipment. Other design elements will make the ships sail faster than most, in part by allowing them to remain at high speed while flushing their bilges at sea, a health measure required by many ports...
...male ancestor. (Can't an action hero ever have a mother fixation?) Atlantis adroitly mixes 2-D and 3-D animation but is short on emotional heft and depth. It would be Disney's rotten luck this summer if its big-budget cartoon loses the tween market to an inferior live-action film with a boy-pleasing secret ingredient. Tomb Raider is Atlantis...
