...streets filled with masked men and women, cloth and clothing torn to tie across their noses and mouths against the dense debris rain. Some streets were eerily quiet. All trading had stopped on Wall Street, so those canyons were empty, the ash several inches thick and gray, the way snow looks in New York almost before it hits the ground. Sounds were both muffled and magnified, echoing off buildings, softened by the smoke. You could hear the chirping of the locator devices the fire fighters wear, hear the whistle of the respirators, see only the lights flashing red and yellow...
...overnight trip to Vermont, to catch some summer stock, and particularly to watch blockmate Samuel H. Perwin ’04 star as Harold Hill. Ah, theater in a barn—yep, it was summer stock—and it was pretty good. Despite the heat and the rain, the young performers were quite appealing and, wow, are they worked hard. After the show, they put on a cabaret performance, as they routinely do, before ending the night and getting up early the next morning to rehearse their next production. Some impressive talent in that show, not the least...

...away. A shimmering monument of white, it floats above the shabby city of Agra. From afar, the Taj Mahal is as beautiful as the poets promise--a glowing tribute to obsessive adoration and a symbol of India around the world. But up close, the picture begins to crumble. Acid rain and condensation from the former Mughal capital's coke-fueled factories and, environmentalists say, a nearby oil refinery are eating away the marble and turning what remains the color of unloved teeth. The famous canals and watercourses stink. Garbage abounds. And attempts at preservation have proved ineffective, clumsy and lacking...
...elite Southern prep school and, gee whiz, a basketball star--a player of great flair, a dark temper and, apparently, no will of his own. Iago is Hugo (Josh Hartnett), the coach's son with a bit of a grudge. Desdemona is Desi (Julia Stiles); Emilia is Emily (Rain Phoenix). As the updated plot is predictably spun out by scripter Brad Kaaya, your response may be a glum "Uh-O." Best to watch the many ovals that Nelson has cleverly worked into the visual design, and to savor Hartnett's handsomely conflicted turn as a youngster of promise that rancor...
