ALTHOUGH PUNCTUATED with terrific bangs of comic energy, the current Winthrop House production of The Taming of the Shrew trips and falls over the unmasking of its Kate. By accenting the fast-biting moments of Elizabethan wit, director Leah Rosovsky has left the meaning of the play unclear. The actors, dressed in a hodge-podge of costumes and too often blocked like isolated commentators on the action, come up each with their own interpretations. Jennifer Marre's shrew submits to her husband with an attempt at audience-directed irony. But Jonathan Epstein's Petruchio tries to woo her sincerely with...
...that cancer will be cured and pollution overcome. But most prophets were decidedly gloomier. Several foresaw an end of the American presidency, perhaps by the year 2025. Tarot Card Reader Johanna Okovic predicted an earthquake in New York City in 1978 and a war between 2011 and 2016.

For Mueller, 21, fiancé of the 1,500-meter silver medalist Leah Poulos, the victory was the payoff for 15 years of gruelling training. "He's crazy about this sport," says Poulos. "Peter can never stop working. He just can't be bad at anything he does." Says Mueller simply: "I just love to go fast...
...Mueller, 21, could also pick up some gold. A long and strong-legged product of Madison, Wis., he too is a sprinter-as well as one of the speed-skating team's coolest poker players. "Peter's a fanatic," says his fiancée and fellow Skater Leah Poulos, 24, herself a medal possibility at 500 meters. "When he wants to be good at something, he doesn't stop." Rounding out the key contenders are U.S. ice dancing champions Colleen O'Connor and Jim Millns. The top American pairs duo-Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner...
