Finally, The Smart Choice should do no harm. Yes—despite everything else—this is still most important aspect of all. If a running mate has some dark secret in his past—a mistress, a felony, rehab—he will be a liability. Unless the choice is almost inhumanly scandal-free, nothing else matters. Senator Kerry, you could object to this rule, you could (rightly) argue that it drives many qualified, capable people out of public life. But ignore it at your peril...
...What kind of monarchy is this?" the returned Stuart (Colin Friels) asks his court, breeches round his ankles, having just had his way with his mistress Devonshire (Marta Dusseldorp). It's the Restoration, silly. And Barker trots out his defeated Puritans, dim-witted landowners and disgruntled cavaliers as lambs to be slaughtered by his withering wit: Milton on amphetamines (the poet, too, gets his comeuppance). It's an actor's feast, of course, with 36 roles shared among 11 players in this production, although the best one is saved for Davis, who co-directs with Benjamin Winspear...
...when the Brasco mole surfaced and indictments fluttered like ticker tape around the Bonanno family, Massino lammed it to the Pocono Mountains. He lived out of a suitcase, using the alias Joseph Russo, and spent weekends with a mistress at lakeside resorts, court records say. After several years, he turned himself in and twice stood trial, in '86 and '87. At the first one, he was found guilty of labor racketeering, along with then boss Rastelli and Teamsters from Local 814, and spent five years in prison. It was while he was there, when Rastelli died of natural causes...

This is my second year serving as Co-Ballet Mistress of the Harvard Ballet Company, meaning I run rehearsals, stage ballets, and choreograph. It’s a job I love completely! I’ve also performed in dance shows at the Loeb and I submit works for Arts First every year. On the administrative side, I’ve been doing a lot of work lobbying for a new space for dance and planning...
...from the Internet and drawn over 4,000 Post-It notes in Silvia V?lez's Not In My Name, 2004. Above all, the show attempts to free up the frozen image, capturing the shift in contemporary art from photography to video and back again. Exhibit A is Patricia Piccinini, mistress of the morph. For her wondrous meditations on genetic engineering, it's only natural that she has spawned a mutant medium. Here Piccinini is represented by her Venice Biennale video, Plasmid Region, 2003, which shows a magnified plasmid cell slowly reproducing. How to love her offspring, including her often photographed...
