...calls out instructions as the dancers mark individual movements and walk through formations. When Kuperman requests a full-out execution of a few eight-counts, the dancers unveil a spectacular range of movement, collectively brushing through a front “attitude” position into a stag leap and “chasse” effortlessly into two diagonal lines...
...Administration: she took a sharper position than the President on an Israeli settlement freeze by claiming, in May, that Obama wanted "to see a stop to settlements. Not some settlements, not outposts, not natural-growth exceptions." And then, in Jerusalem, her use of the word unprecedented seemed a rhetorical leap beyond the No Drama ground rules.(Read "Clinton's Collateral Damage...
...series about the Bush dynasty, and then I had this amazingly good trip to Hawaii where I met [onetime psychic spy] Glenn Wheaton, who told me about Project Jedi and training U.S. soldiers to reach Level 2 - "Intuition" - then Level 3 - "Invisibility," which I thought was such a great leap.

While the HSM franchise is built around the preppy, perky and preposterous perspective of the "average American high school," Glee seeks to poignantly tackle social issues like teen pregnancy, sexuality and infidelity. Besides the leap in demographics (would you let your third-grader watch Glee?) and the show's many talented rising stars, Glee strays from the squeaky-clean Disney dogma and gets gritty, gruesome and, most of all, real. Sorry, Troy and Gabriella, but I'm a Gleek...
