This is the first play by Kentuckian Marsha Norman but it is worth a trip to the Theater de Lys on Christopher St. to see how she has combined these lives into one soul. Dale Soules plays Arlene, a wiry woman locking out her past, anxious to deal with the daily pain of life in the real world without resorting to crime, without ugly language, without her old self--Arlie. Simultaneously, Julie Nesbitt carries on as Arlie, Arlene's violent past personified in this small but gutsy, foul-mouthed girl who hates authority and only loves for cash...
Since 8 a.m., Paul Higginbotham, 32, a fiercely mustached Kentuckian, and Michael Helton, 28, a stocky Ohioan, have been slowly, methodically bringing the 850-megawatt nuclear reactor back on line after a routine shutdown for maintenance.

He taught at a number of colleges, mainly the University of Minnesota, and helped found...
There seems to be no limit to the potential of this slight young Kentuckian who so loves to ride. "Gettin' the best you can from a horse, that's the whole thing," he says. "That's the real pleasure." He has been, so far, charmingly oblivious to the fame he has earned so quickly and the pressure that has come with it. "Reason I don't feel any pressure is because I don't want to," he says simply. "You have to perform, have to do your...
