...performers in Noise/Funk all exude talent, and each of them gives a fantastic performance. Unfortunately, the Shubert Theater lacks the equipment to effectively display their luminous energy. The show-stopping vocal acrobatics of 'da Singer (Vickilyn Reynolds) are certainly loud, but the Shubert's poorly-tuned sound system prevent most of the audience from distinguishing what exactly the lyrics to her songs are.

Only last month scientists at the National Cancer Institute announced that they were halting a clinical trial of a drug called tamoxifen--and offering it to patients getting the placebo--because it had proved so effective at preventing breast cancer (although it also seemed to increase the risk of uterine cancer). Then preliminary reports indicated that another drug, raloxifene, might prevent breast cancer without triggering new malignancies. Two weeks later came the Times's report that two new drugs can shrink tumors of every variety without any side effects whatsoever...
