Donna Letzter, the theater director at West Aurora High School in Aurora, Ill., has put on ambitious shows in the past like Cats and Les Misérables, and last year she even figured out a way to get a helicopter to lift off the stage for a production of Miss Saigon. But that was kid stuff compared her challenge this spring: staging the nation's first licensed high school edition of Rent. Though the script had been pruned of most of the roughest material, this is still a musical in which most of the characters are either on drugs...
...Keeping the roe in gives the crab a more distinctive flavor," insisted leading Singaporean gastro-pundit Raymond Lim of Les Amis, as we sat outside at his packed local Ting Heng Seafood (tel: (65) 6323 6093), on the edge of the Geylang (red light) district.

If Haiti's history is any example, whenever riots break out its weak security system collapses, giving way to a free-for-all that allows anyone with a vendetta...
...graphic protection linked unconsciously to recession, just like at the end of the '80s." Like Lacroix, Ghesquire was channeling a more austere sensibility in his Balenciaga collection, which, he said, was inspired by film noir, specifically the actress Simone Signoret's hard-edged look in the 1955 movie Les Diaboliques...
