...another Harvard musical confection is modern in comparison. I say "in comparison," because some may consider any play dealing with the Washington Senators to be just this side of ancient history. Never mind--Damn Yankees may be dated, but it boasts tunes like "You've Gotta Have Heart," "Whatever Lola Wants," "The Good Old Days" and "Goodbye Old Girl," which is more than you can say of the Globe sports pages. As you might expect, a show mixing Faust and the Yankees was combustible stuff on Broadway--one of its longest-running shows, in fact. Maybe the Devil helped light...
...children come in here after seeing things like Fred Flintstone and they think that dinosaurs and men lived at the same time. We're trying to clear up these misconceptions," Lola Stillman, volunteer coordinator at the museum, said yesterday...

Alan Arkin portrays a surprisingly endearing and benign Sigmund Freud with none of the brooding, neurotic quality one might expect. Arkin's Freud is all kindliness and sanity. Vanessa Redgrave is an appropriately haunting and romantic Lola Devereaux and Nicol Williamson makes a fine Sherlock Holmes, the civilized British gentleman with a passion for fair play at all times. Even in his berserk moments, he remains the aristocratic eccentric. Though gifted with a passion for precision, he is still the ultimate amateur...
