Cursive's demise is due in part to the kind of circular logic espoused by Alex McCarter, a 15-year-old in New York City. He has such bad handwriting that he is allowed to use a computer on standardized tests. The U.S. Department of Education estimates that only 0.3% of high school students receive this particular accommodation. McCarter's mother tried everything to help him improve his penmanship, including therapy, but the teenager likes his special status. "I kind of want to stay bad at it," he says.

Now the play is a hot property, with three simultaneous stagings at regional theaters this fall, one of which--the McCarter Theatre's at Princeton, with Jimmy Smits playing the lector--is transferring to Broadway next month. Another of Cruz's plays, Lorca in a Green Dress, is being staged in Oregon. His Two Sisters and a Piano, about a pair of Cuban political prisoners under house arrest, will be produced...
...Carroll, a former securities prosecutor and now managing partner at the law firm Clifford Chance in New York City. While unusual, this charge connects the case to something more than a single stock trade. "It's not just about Martha Stewart's personal fortune," says Robert Mintz of McCarter & English in Newark, N.J. "It's about manipulating the marketplace." The fraud charge also increases the potential prison time; the maximum sentence is 10 years, twice that of the other charges...
