...first action by the columnist's attorney Manuel Klausner Wednesday was to try to move the trial to Drudge's home state of California. Judge Paul Friedman didn't rule on that one immediately, but some of his other pronouncements were less than hopeful for the defense: "Public figures," he said, "have the right not to be defamed."

Gregg Burge and Hinton Battle challenge the speed of light with their agility, and Phyllis Hyman and Terri Klausner pour molten sensuousness into numbers like In a Sentimental Mood and Hit Me with a Hot Note and Watch Me Bounce. If Harlem had a Renaissance court, Willa Kim's color-splashed costumes would adorn...
