...asking that a collection plate be passed around, and it is verboten in the White House to grumble in even a minor way. The responses are typical. "This is no different than what they went through in World War II," says spokesman Scott McLellan, one of the early joiners in the campaign effort. There are plenty of references to the men and women on the front lines overseas as well and the danger they face. But in a less public way, veterans concede that they're awfully tired. You won't get anyone to talk about it, but you also...
...much to see from there unless you happen to remember exactly where the towers were two months ago. I stare out at the water and watch the ferries coming and going from Staten Island. The last time I took the ferry, I came out only to see a big minor league baseball banner calling Staten Island “The Home of the New York-Penn League Champion Staten Island Yankees.” That’s changed now. The Brooklyn Cyclones, the Mets’ minor league team, beat the Yankees to advance to the league championships. That...
...faults of the show lie mainly in David Thompson's book, which is too perfunctory with the minor characters and can't really bring off the couple's Act II decline into guilt and self-destruction.

...Rigoletto” paraphrase of Verdi. Both demonstrated the utmost in fluidity and lyricism—in Kissin’s hands, the hideously difficult becomes the sublimely simple, even if the material is third-rate fluff. Scriabin’s D-sharp minor Étude (Op. 8, #12) was next (a nod to Horowitz), followed by an arrangement of waltzes from Johann Strauss’ Die Fledermaus—again, breathtakingly impressive. Still, I can’t help but wonder how much more enjoyable it would have been had Kissin challenged us a little more musically...
