...vocal director Steven B. Anderson ’01. In these last few weeks, they have been rehearsing six hours a day—three hours to work on individual pieces and three hours to run through the entire show. Lacking the resources of its Broadway predecessor, the student production must rely more on the performances themselves to captivate the audience. This particular day, the cast works on running the finale, paying attention to groups, levels and lines presented to the audience. The music is already excellent. Heller reminds the cast to keep up their energy and think about...
...When it comes to China, presidential candidates love to talk tough. Once they get into office, though, the talk often tempers. Bill Clinton said he would never "coddle dictators" as his predecessor had, but he wound up embracing Beijing as a "strategic partner." On the stump, George W.

Polls show that the euthanasia law is popular in Europe, and other countries may follow. South Korean doctors asked for a similar law last week. But in the U.S., opponents hope Attorney General John Ashcroft will rescind his predecessor's ruling that the federal Controlled Substances Act doesn't bar Oregon's use of drugs for mercy killing. If he does, the case will go to court. During his campaign, President Bush said he would sign a proposed law preventing doctors from using drugs to intentionally kill, which would effectively overturn the Oregon...
