...time of plague and great hunger as the Baramundi tribe began life A.J. (After Jerri). They had eaten all their rice, and as CBS taunted us with the possibility that Amber had not made it out of her dead Queen's shadow in time to feel safe with her fellow Ogakors, Keith and Colby were forced to wander the fields of the Outback in a comically edited ritual known to Colby as "grasshopper wrangling." Yet even as the bait ran them ragged, they could catch no fish...
...brisk tempi proved a mixed blessing. While the overture exuded an almost electric energy, other numbers seemed slightly rushed. Tamino and Pamina’s Act II duet could have luxuriated longer in its loving lyricism, and Weigle’s charge into part two of the Queen of the Night’s big first act aria was a bit too fast for soprano Mary Dunleavy, resulting in an awkward adjustment as her coloratura fireworks begin. Nor was Dunleavy vocally perfect. In her Act II showstopper she seemed so obsessed with hitting those high Fs that the other notes...
...perfection is representative of Die Zauberflöte itself. Although it contains what is arguably Mozart’s most mature and varied music, as a piece of drama it doesn’t always attain the same sublimity.

COURTNEY WALSH Keep the cucumber sandwiches coming. The West Indies cricketer is the first bowler to take 500 wickets in Test history JACK KEROUAC Beat this. The wire-service paper roll on which On the Road was written is expected to fetch more than $1 million at auction...
...Egoist was started in 1996 as a hip lifestyle magazine aimed predominantly at young men. Its first hard-hitting cover - a stark black-and-white image of former beauty queen Euvgenia Kalkandjieva, showing the scars she received in a near-fatal 1996 gang attack in downtown Sofia - sparked widespread outrage and acclaim. Egoist's reputation for uncompromising journalism took off. Today the magazine has a circulation of 12,000, huge for the Bulgarian market, but it reaches as many as 75,000, with copies changing hands as many as 15 times. According to editor Alexander Zhekov, 31, the readership consists...
