...greater Asia slowdown promises to deepen Japan's woes. "This is a catastrophe," says Carl Weinberg at High Frequency Economics. At a conference with senior Japanese executives, notes Allen Sinai of Primark Decision Economics, "I was absolutely flabbergasted by the pessimism." Picking market bottoms is never easy. When they occur, pessimism and words like catastrophe are usually in evidence, as is some element of resolve. It's all there in Japan today. The question isn't whether things will get worse but whether the worst is priced into the market. Mutual funds that invest in Japan have been appropriately whacked...
...patient or couple is infertile. For Anita and Vincent Bielicki, both Chicago police officers, the problem was in Vincent's sperm. Before turning to more elaborate measures, the couple tried several courses of therapy, in which Anita took ovulation-stimulating drugs (a la Bobbi McCaughey) and fertilization was to occur inside the body...
...plot, shallow by itself, is further hampered by poor acting. Frohock is the only actor on the stage who does a creditable job, and all the others are too frequently trapped by memory lapses and forgotten lines. These slips occur far too often for even the most patient viewer to dismiss. The lines seem so unnatural to the actors at times that some actors start saying the lines--stop--then reword what they were saying, presumably to the way they were written. These errors eradicate whatever respect the play may have established with its audience--and that makes Forbidden Fruit...

Sadly, we know that this is an oversimplification, and in particular that sexual harrassment and assaults occur between peers. So the person following a woman back to Kirkland, or back to the Yard, after a party for example, may well be a fellow student; in that case, it seems universal access would become a threat, not a protection...
...full, pure sound that would occur by set's end, the venue at first threatened to crumble up the concert and slam-dunk it in the trash: during a thrillingly explosive opener, "Ocean Size," the first crowd rush collapsed the plainly insufficient band cage. The crowd--a mixture of 12-year-olds impersonating 15-year-olds, 15-year-olds imitating 21-year-olds and the walking braindead successfully being themselves--moaned and groaned at the subsequent 45-minute delay as a new cage was assembled. Woe betide the band that starts a concert thus; momentum at this point would have...
