...manages to tweak the stereotypical labels of homosexuality without really dislodging them-from limp hand-gestures and crossed legs to extreme neatness of dress and the aforementioned dancing. Its solution isn't to disprove the stereotypes but to make light of them and show that hey, they're no big deal; the whole point is that none of this should be such a big deal, but is made to be. There's no edge, no grit: it's the sanitized, homogenized Hollywood comic vision of a Greenleaf, Indiana, learning to accept gays, if not to be perfectly politically correct about...

Whether it does now depends in large part on convincing Congress that the station remains a safe...
Drabinsky, 47, a stocky man with a thick head of hair and a giant limp (a remnant of childhood polio), grew up in a middle-class Jewish family in Toronto, and abandoned a law career to build the Cineplex Odeon movie-theater chain (from which he was ousted in a corporate coup). He is well known, and sometimes disliked, for his outsize ego and strong hand in the creative process. "If you're respected, it's a collaboration," he says. "If there's no respect...
