...took Barbara Hustedt Crook an awfully long time to get around to writing her first musical. She started last year, shortly before her 60th birthday. Her friend and collaborator, Robert Strozier, waited even longer; he's 65. It's not that they didn't have the creative chops for the job.

In a hearing before the SJC in November, Iuliano argued that the University...
...woman voting. Alexander Wells Los Angeles I cannot recall another year that brought such human misery. Whether caused by nature or man, the events depicted in your collection reminded me how truly awful 2005 was. May the human family look forward to some small measure of joy in 2006. Robert D.

Ironically, the remains of a theater or movie advertisement...
