Fortunately, the dancers’ energy and comic bravura compensate for any lack of emotional impact in the ballet. The Boston Ballet opened its 43rd season last weekend with “Don Quixote,” which runs Oct.19-29 at the Wang Theatre. Last performed by the company in 2003, “Don Quixote” boasts...

Compared with almost any other politician, he's a riot to talk to, a one-man romp through everyone from St. Paul to Albert Camus. Jane Brunner, a city councilwoman who didn't vote for the mayor but thinks he has done a good job, says that when she goes into his office, she is never certain whether she is going to be in there...
