...issues seem intellectualized and aloof. In 33 Variations, Jane Fonda (making her first appearance on Broadway in 46 years) plays a musicology professor suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease who tries to solve a musical mystery: why Beethoven, late in his life, became obsessed with writing variations on a minor waltz by a now forgotten contemporary composer. Writer and director Moises Kaufman (The Laramie Project) jumps back and forth in time - we see Beethoven in flashbacks - as the professor races to finish her research before the disease incapacitates her, while also trying to connect with the grown daughter from whom...
...just to NASA, but to science in general. But, even if that’s true, NASA severely underestimates the appeal of robots. Tiny Mars rovers launched five years ago for nearly half the cost of a single shuttle mission continue to receive nearly constant coverage, even for minor milestones...
...gone overboard grew earlier this week, when Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, President Obama's pick for Secretary of Health and Human Services, became the latest nominee to be embarrassed by a public disclosure of problems with her tax returns.

"The tax issues of the nominees considered by the Committee this year came to be public only because the nominees chose to proceed. Chairman Baucus and I agree that if a nominee chooses to proceed after tax issues...
...statement. As the rhythmic bellows of the accordion and the acoustic guitar in the verse suddenly stop to make way for a chorus of singers accompanied by organ, the song gains a sense of completion and cohesion that some of the other tracks lack. It ends on an unexpected minor chord, setting the stage for the cut that follows.Later, “The Hazards of Love 4 (The Drowned)” acts as a cathartic reflection on the album as a whole, seeming to emerge out of the rubble into a climactic and chaotic narrative finale, describing the peace...
