...year-old Harold Rose, who bred, owns and trains hopeful Hal's Hope, recovered from a stroke last year and has gotten a wild ride he probably doesn't need from this colt. Hal's Hope is hot-and-cold--it took him three tries to break his maiden at Calder Race Course before he did it at six and one-half furlongs at a healthy 16-1 price. But the horse has two quality stakes wins in the Holy Bull and the Florida Derby. In last month's Blue Grass Stakes, Hal's Hope ran just off the pace...

...ancient curse. A well-mannered, blushing maiden. A would-be Baronet masquerading as a farmer. A village lunatic. An elderly spinster. Mix all of these elements together with a troupe of professional-and equally blushing-bridesmaids, add a chorus of dead Baronets, toss in a generous pinch of satire and a large dash of energetic singing and dancing, and you have none other than Ruddigore, or the Witch's Curse, presented by the Harvard-Radcliffe Gilbert and Sullivan Players...

...younger Bush learn nothing on the playing fields of Andover and Yale? "What a great putt on nine" is what winners have said to losers for generations at the Cape Arundel Golf Club in Kennebunkport. Last June on Bush's maiden campaign swing, he stopped at the family compound on the Maine seacoast to celebrate Poppy's 75th birthday, a subtle reminder that he was better bred than the unworthy occupant of the White House. If some thought the young Bush had had it too easy, remained too much the carefree frat boy, they could still count on the fact...

...care reform.) Like its forebear, this uneven but worthwhile film is less about sex than its aftermath. In "1961," Vanessa Redgrave, whose lover of 50 years has died, meets the woman's nephew, arrived to dispose of the house he's inherited and clueless about the lifestyle of his "maiden aunt." Redgrave deftly sketches the quiet hell of a woman unable to share her grief for her "friend" with the unwitting in-laws. A butch townie (Chloe Sevigny of Boys Don't Cry) in "1972" rattles her college-student lover's gay-feminist pals, for whom short hair means gender...

...present squared than anything remarkably new. Whatever is going to make the future feel like the future probably hasn't even been thought of yet, and that must be why such a diverse group of writers as you assembled couldn't seem to move beyond the conceptual iron maiden of the present. Maybe it would be better to stop trying to predict the future and just start living it. PETER VERTES Cleveland, Ohio...
