...drag-out. Indeed there really haven't been any negotiations at all between Local 26 president Domenic M. Bozzotto and Harvard chief labour negotiator Edward W. Powers. As the workers contract approaches its June 19 expiration date, the two men have spent most of their time in a posturing pas de deux of charges and outright insults...
...regal Sibley, the gossamer Titania of The Dream, reduced to a semislattern with one thing on her mind. Here is the princely Dowell, once her dashing Oberon, as an even more unsatisfying lover, a sexually indeterminate gigolo with Saturday-night fever. At the end of the first, teasingly erotic pas de deux, Dowell effortlessly lifts Sibley aloft and, in one graceful, fluid motion, floats her offstage.

In a decidedly against-type bit of casting, Catherine Deneuve, 39, plays a 3,000-year-old bisexual vampire involved in a threesome with Susan Sarandon, 36, and David Bowie, 36. With hot designs on toothsome Susan, Deneuve commits the classic faux pas of asking about a blood transfusion. "Not the greatest move on a first date," observes Sarandon. Indeed, but such is the foam that washes ashore in this bit of vampyorrhea that aggressively bills itself as "new wave." Quick, somebody fetch the stake...
