Enter the microbreweries -- small local producers who generally turn out no more than 15,000 bbl. a year (in contrast to Anheuser-Busch's 72.3 million- bbl. ocean sold last year) and whose brews are primarily intended for regional consumption. For lovers of the yeasty, golden suds, this is good news. It | means that beer can be fresh and natural, made with only the essentials: water, malted barley, hops and yeast. And because of their limited distribution, microbrewers can turn out distinctive flavors. Before Prohibition, hundreds of breweries existed in the U.S. But after the repeal only large producers could...
...exhibit details the chronology of these pieces. One puzzle, made in the image of the Atlantic Ocean, challenges players to put the "planes" of Lindbergh, Byrd, and Chamberlain into "hangars" located on the other side of the ocean. The puzzle pays tribute to the real-life race as to which of the three pilots would cross the Atlantic first...
...Patti LuPone. As Nightclub Belter Reno Sweeney, she rivals the role's originator, Ethel Merman, in volume and clarity of voice, and far outdoes her in intelligence and heart. CoStar Howard McGillin has shirt-ad looks, puppyish charm and a lilting tenor. Other delights: Tony Walton's Art Deco ocean-liner set, Paul Gallo's seascape lighting and Michael Smuin's crisp choreography. The supporting cast is mostly ordinary, and Kathleen Mahony-Bennett's oomphless ingenue is not even that. The book, by P.G.

...mass of wreckage and tons of coal spread around. And then there was this lady's shoe. It was incredible, just haunting." That was the way Doug Llewelyn, an executive producer for Los Angeles-based Westgate Productions, described what it was like to view the sunken wreck of the ocean liner Titanic at first hand. Recalls Yann Keranflech, a member of the $2.5 million French expedition that last summer salvaged some 800 artifacts from the wreck: "You think about the victims. If you find a pair of shoes or a suitcase, you ask yourself if the person managed to survive...
Their French colleagues disagreed. Last July an IFREMER ship arrived at the site, and over the next 54 days researchers, filmmakers and financial backers made 32 dives in the submersible Nautile. The salvagers used two remote manipulator arms to pluck objects from the ocean floor and place them in a collecting basket. There were, notes Keranflech, "strange anomalies -- a silver plate still as bright as if it had just been polished. Crystal glasses, beautiful porcelain plates and cups. When we brought them to the surface, ; everyone rushed up to see. We wanted to expose them to the air as little...
