Top IBMers are trained to look at the bright side. The cutbacks, they say, will reduce overhead by about $4 billion beginning...

In between came the faux noir of Porgy and Bess, which is really a Russian grand opera in blackface (the choral scenes are closer to Rimsky-Korsakov or Mussorgsky than they are to anything Catfish Row ever heard). With a fierce, angry and brilliant libretto by Thulani Davis, the composer's cousin, X is at once a musical entertainment, a folk epic, a cautionary tale and a cri de coeur...
