...attempts to raise a normal family, Boo's parents, Karl and Soot, are the archetypal alcoholic husband and seriously oppressed sex-toy wife. Will Lebow, playing Boo's father, spurts a stream of obscene jokes, sexist comments and alcohol-induced insults, deftly making you want to strangle him; and Paula Plum, playing Boo's mother, giggles her way adeptly into our sympathies as Soot descends further and further into flamboyant madness...
...second half of the program, mezzo-soprano Paula Rasmussen, tenor Richard Clemont and bass Nathan Berg joined Christine Brewer along with the Handel and Haydn Society Chorus. The work, Beethoven's Mass in C, was definitely the highlight of the evening. Written in 1807 on a commission from Prince Nikolaus Esterhazy II, this was Beethoven's first setting of the Mass, and was a complete failure in the prince's eyes. Perhaps he did not appreciate Beethoven's extensive text painting (creating musical pictures of the text), and his application of personal feelings to the various parts of the mass...
...afternoon of skating includes a rousing game of Hokey-Pokey, the ever popular Macarena and, according to general manager Paula Nieves, "everyone's favorite," the Chickie Dance.

Still, for aficionados, there are a few new morsels. The largest: President Clinton testified he had not had sex with any woman who was an employee of the federal government or the state of Arkansas since 1986, the time frame specified by the judge. Conspicuous by its absence: the Clinton...
...Meanwhile, there's still the matter of an appeal. A cursory phone call from Clinton attorney Bob Bennett Sunday told Paula's lawyers that their last-minute offer of $2 million to settle the suit before it goes to appeal Tuesday had fallen flat in the White House. And Bennett also said his current $700,000 offer wouldn't be on the table forever. Jones herself, egged on by husband Steve and spokeswoman Susan Carpenter McMillan, had decided to up the ante and demand $1 million from both Clinton and New York parking lot magnate Abe Hirschfeld. Her lawyers argued...
