...ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER. This touring concert stomps into Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for a two-week visit with a 52-piece orchestra, twice the size of the usual Broadway pit band. Early on, overamplification and pretension threaten to do in the evening. Ultimately, though, Sir Andrew's lush, melodic theater music seduces. From Jesus Christ Superstar to The Phantom of the Opera, all the hits are here. A virtuoso company of 14 makes even the most familiar songs seem fresh (Laurie Beechman's poignant Memory is a knockout), and star Michael Crawford (the original Phantom) performs with dazzling...
Donna Murphy portrays the middle aged woman who has become "bewitched, bothered, and bewildered" by Joey's youthful impetuousness. As Vera, Murphy's lush and velvety voice brings an added beauty to the already unsurpassingly lovely songs...
...Napa and Sonoma counties, heartland of California's $730 million-a-year wine industry, prospects are promising for a bumper harvest this fall.

Estimates of the total damage, including the cost of replanting with Phylloxera-resistant stalks, range from $500 million to more...

Along with other legendarily soaked cities like Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, B.C., Seattle has imposed water restrictions, urging citizens to take shorter showers and banning the use of lawn sprinklers. The lush, green vegetation has begun to turn brown. Mule deer does are having trouble finding enough food in the woods to produce milk for their fawns. The spring chinook salmon run on Oregon's Rogue River had the largest die-off level in 15 years, attributed in part to low water...
