...Industry officials say they spend tens of millions making bingo halls more youth-friendly and installing state-of-the-art equipment. The Ping-Pong balls with numbers painted on are gone. Instead, a computer randomly selects the numbers and displays them on a digital screen overhead. The quaint bingo lingo is no more: the two little ducks (22) have flown the coop and the two fat ladies (88) have walked off on their legs eleven (11). But innovation has its limits: an attempt to replace the daubers and paper cards with a small contraption the size of a Palm Pilot...
...area, near the town of Halabja, has always been a redoubt: it is full of deep caves and secretive routes for escape and supply (nicknamed "rat-lines") across the rugged frontier with Iran.

Instead, it stays true to sometimes quirky 1930s lingo and the brazenly leftist, pro-union messages. The characters, too, with names like Mr. Mister and Dr. Specialist—not-so-subtle prototypes of social powers and evils—remain perfectly intact from Blitzstein’s original...
...Curling Club. A native of Nova Scotia who had curled for five years prior to coming to college, Wendt’s love for the sport led her to the Canadian Club of Boston, a local curling group. “It reminds me of home and the lingo and culture of the game brings up a lot of memories,” she says. This year the Curling Club joins up with the Canadian Club at the Brookline country club, where they curl together on a weekly basis during the winter season...
