...Internet has been formative in the evolution of Japan's latest literary genre. As early as 2000, keitai shosetsu were appearing on the website Maho i-Rando, which offered MySpace-style homepages, to which readers posted diary entries via their cell phones. But "people wrote in asking for a place where they could be expressive and creative," says Akira Tanii, the site's founder. "We gave them a tool that allowed them to publish novels, short stories and poems, chapter by chapter, just like a real book." Many of the early titles were collaborative products: site members would post reactions...
...minty palate-cleanser. A topical revue by the young Moss Hart (then 27) and the veteran Irving Berlin (43; he'd live to 101), it has one hit song, "Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee," and lots of impudent attitude, which the revival nicely preserved under John Rando's direction.

...lyric side of lewd. In "Never Was a Girl So Fair," a hymn to Miss Devereaux's allure, the pols sing: "What a charming epiglottis! / What a lovely coat of tan! / Oh, the man who isn't hot is / Not a man!" The Encores! production, staged by John Rando (who directed the wonderful 1998 revival of the Kaufman-Gershwin Strike Up the Band), makes Kaufman's old whine bubble like new wine. Pristinely faithful to the original, down to a film clip of the MGM lion, crowing instead of roaring, the show has a brisk, canny bounce matched only...
...important for both patients and loved ones to grasp that terminal patients aren't just dying--they're also living, stresses Therese Rando, clinical director at the Institute for the Study and Treatment of Loss in Warwick, R.I. "With that realization, patients often begin doing things to give their lives purpose and meaning," Rando says. "People want to know they can continue to exist in the world after they're dead. Who wants to be forgotten...
