...comes the Day After. You don't just go to class. You stagger in, using Jack Nicholson's patented "Cuckoo Nest" post-electroshock walk. Your section leader takes on the sinister role of Nurse Ratched as you wink, smile and wallow in your rebellious glamour. Better than thumbing your nose at the school principal, blazing through a two week assignment in one night completely destroys your section leader's sense of authority...
Fears that available programming will soon disappear have sent the home satellite business into a nose dive. Sales of dishes, tooling along at about 70,000 a month last autumn, fell to fewer than 15,000 in January.

Of the supporting cast, Donal Logue as the rightous Captain Le Bret is appropriately stiff-backed, and nuns Jane Avrich and Chalon Emmons scamper and giggle most agreeably during the last scene...

This may be splitting nose hairs, as it were, but Cyrano's shnozz is so prominent, both visually and symbolically, that its obvious artificiality detracts mightily from the atmosphere of the play. Not only was the seam obvious from my fourth row seat, but it made Roe sound like an extra in a Dristan commercial. During one of the more tedious sections, I started to hope that the nose would fall off and add some needed comic relief, but it never did--another disappointment...
