...song cycle about love, sin, doubt and transcendence. The music is composed in an utterly personal style that blends pop, gospel and classical influences; the lyrics weave together Greek mythology and Christian hymnody to complex, unsettling effect. Persuasively performed on CD by singers such as Audra McDonald, Mandy Patinkin and Guettel, Myths & Hymns is a major event in American popular song...
...friends had always given him "the Talk." Sheldon Patinkin, artistic consultant of the famed Second City comedy troupe, where Farley got his start, says, "He seemed to be hell-bent. I told him, 'You're drinking yourself to death. You're destroying your brain cells, and pretty soon you'll find it hard to be funny.'" Says Patinkin: "He knew it, and he'd agree, but he couldn't stop."

Moyers begins each segment with a boiled-down version of the appropriate chapter and verse, narrated by an actor, either Alfre Woodard or Mandy Patinkin.

"I don't know how you call yourself an actor if you turn down Quasimodo," says Patinkin. The actor thinks only one of his predecessors really counts. "Laughton, not Victor Hugo, wrote this part," he says. "I'm just playing his notes...
...September with a cloudy prognosis. Hour-long TV drama had been in a long-term slump, pushed aside by the proliferating prime-time magazines. ER was scheduled, moreover, opposite the season's one other new medical drama -- CBS's Chicago Hope, which boasted bigger stars (E.G. Marshall, Mandy Patinkin) and the kind of high-pitched melodramatics that viewers seem more comfortable with. Yet ER was instantly a huge hit. In its first five weeks, the show has drawn an average Nielsen rating of 18.3, ranking in the top five among all prime-time series. It trounced Chicago Hope so thoroughly...
