...what works best? In its new study, the exercise council evaluates the popular Ab-Doer. A lengthy TV infomercial promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such maneuvers as "Body Boogies" and "Good Mornings" will "trim those abs the fun and easy way without diets." Steven Loy, professor of kinesiology at California State University, Northridge, tested those claims by measuring the electrical activity produced by the abdominals during three Ab-Doer maneuvers. He and his colleagues then compared the results with those generated during traditional exercises. They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases...
...Wednesday, the vastly improved Celtics return from a tough five-game road trip to face the hapless Clippers. If you're looking for a Boston win, tonight's the night with the winless Clippers, who without the immortal Loy Vaught on their roster have no cohesion whatsoever. FleetCenter, 7 p.m., tickets available through TicketMaster...
...ground? Fifty years before Maverick and Goose, Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy dared the clouds in Test Pilot (1938), a paean to the thrills, thralls and tragedies of dancing with that blue-clad lady (more of the last, apparently, when in a military aircraft). Just ask weak-kneed Myrna Loy when her man goes plummeting. It was MGM's biggest hit, and you get Lionel Barrymore thrown in. And remember: they died at their trade...
...heightened and almost anal-retentive detail of earlier etchings soon expands to include looser, more casually rendered portraits (such as the mid-eighteenth century "Preste de la Loy") and quick political caricatures (such as those of eighteenth-century Britain). The medium is particularly effective on the larger scale for which this specific printmaking process allows. In Giovanni Piranesi's eighteenth-century "Arch of Ianus Quadrifons," the sheer size and weight of the severe values combine with intense detail, resulting in a piece of surprising presence...
Some of the set design by Loy Arcenas is ingenious, like the wall of Chinese faces with moving eyes and the emperor's throne in The Real Manchu set-within-a-set. Costume designer William Ivey Long demonstrates his creative gift particularly with spectacular Chinese robes and headdress for The Real Manchu outfits and convincingly WASPy clothes for Linda. Combined, this crew and cast have the most Tonys, Obies, and Drama Desk awards imaginable; with some reworking and refining, the deck is stacked for them on Broadway...
