...Lenny matured, walking a lonely road in so many aspects of his craft, he relied less on boffo laffs. "Please don't applaud," he'd sometimes say on stage. "It breaks my rhythm." And in his last years, when he'd devote maybe an hour of his act to a recitation of his trial trials, Lenny was often still funny, but in a much drier, more serious context. (At the very end, he could be so stoned he could barely hold a mic, let alone an audience's attention.) Krassner asked Lenny how these lectures on the law squared with...
...Alps to the Atlantic are once more in demand as porters and endearing travel mates, especially for kids. More than 200 donkey agents now specialize in hikes 'n' hires.

"Rehearsals are always fun," says accountant Jeanette Oberg, 47, who has a small solo part as Giulia, a peasant girl. "The choir members are always on the alert for anything that can be turned into a joke...
...Separated by fences and flags, the two families live in vastly different circumstances, as cursory glances at the serene Israeli communities and the densely-packed Gazan townships make clear. And yet, like all Israelis and Palestinians, the families are linked by a conflict that governs the rhythm of daily life on both sides. They ask similar questions of themselves, their leaders and their ostensible enemies. Both have suffered grave losses that haunt them to this day. While others cast such losses as noble sacrifices, or simply collateral damage, families like the Ragolskys and the Ghabens live with the consequences...
