Unlike the president, Hillary Clinton has appeared cautiously aware of the consequences of insulting the pompous politicians on the Hill. By the Washington Post's count, she has met at least fifty times with members of Congress in both houses and both parties. With a mix of courtesy ("Yes, Congressman"), warmth (she hugged House Ways and Means Committee chairman Dan Rostenkowski) and blunt honesty (she warned legislators that sin taxes alone could not finance health care reform), she has generally won high marks and--more important--respect. While the president has made members of Congress feel isolated and ignored...
...FIRES IN THE MIRROR, HER ACCLAIMED off-Broadway play, Anna Deavere Smith created an unusual mix of art and journalism. In response to the 1991 Crown Heights racial disturbances (which erupted after a black youth was killed by a car driven by a Hasidic Jew), she re-created onstage the words of more than two dozen witnesses and participants, based on her own interviews. Adapted for PBS's American Playhouse (April 28), the 90-minute piece is riveting, a TV documentary as performance art. Smith precisely reproduces every word and stutter, the rhetorical bombast and silly yammerings. All seem...
...Treasure Island casino, to open in October, will re-create at hourly intervals a cannon fight between two battleships and offer a permanent home to the elegant Cirque du Soleil.

And his next project in Las Vegas will envelop gambling inside a 160-acre resort that will include a golf course, intimate villages, a replica of Rick's Cafe Americain (the gambling joint from the movie Casablanca,) and a 14-acre lake where visitors...
...would expect the somewhat one-dimensional nature of the fairy tale, with its characteristic enchantment and romance, to translate predictably into the traditional ballet form. The Boston Ballet's production of Cinderella, however, offers a surprising and successful mix of fable, fantasy and farce. Ben Stevenson's unique choreography combined with David Walker's exquisite sets and costumes and the energetically unpredictable Prokofiev score create new artistic possibilities for this magical storybook tale...
This white Canadian ragamuffin's blazing debut album, Twelve Inches of Snow, fuses Jamaican dance hall and American hip-hop into the irresistibly slick mix many other musicians have been aiming for. SNOW'S groove-heavy beats and scatlike raps are burning up the charts from Kingston to New York to Toronto. Darrin O'Brien, who would rather be known by his ghetto moniker, Snow, is an alumnus of Toronto's housing projects and the Ontario penal system. Rap elitists who remember Vanilla Ice may doubt Snow's street credentials. But they need only listen to Snow...
