Overall, the musical is worth seeing, but only for the matinee price. The singing by both Mills and Talmadge is weak and unclear, leaving one constantly straining to hear them. Those who loved Mills in Pollyanna and The Parent Trap will be very disappointed with her voice. Everyone knows the songs and can sing along, but it would have been great to hear one of these characters, preferably the King, really belt one out. Worse still, sexism, classicism and European elitism (the three evil isms) abound in this musical: the fact that European culture is valued over Asian culture...

Wisconsin welfare cases have plummeted more than 55 percent in the past decade ? they don't know whether that has been driven by reforms or by the booming economy.

What nobody on either side considered, though, was the possibility that either Redux or its parent compound fenfluramine might damage heart valves...
...breast-implant trial in Louisiana [LAW, Sept. 1] raised a number of important issues about the role of science in the courtroom, but the use of the word Dow in the article was misleading. Dow Chemical and Dow Corning are separate corporate entities, and Dow Chemical is not the "parent company" of Dow Corning. Rather, Dow Chemical and Corning Inc. are each 50% shareholders in Dow Corning, which formerly made breast implants. Dow Chemical is not now and never has been in the breast-implant business. It is also important to note that the Louisiana trial is only the third...
