Henry, who won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 1980 when he was with the Boston Globe, delights in his visits to Way-Off Broadway?regional theaters where the work may lack Broadway sheen, but can be imaginative and daring. "My predecessor at TIME, Ted Kalem, used to say, 'When I go to a theater in Cleveland, they don't ask what's happening in Detroit.' Well, times have changed, and now when I go to Ashland, Ore., they do ask me what's happening in San Diego...
...boot camp of hell, and a sensitive man could die from it. "You don't belong in the Nam, man," a warwise soldier tells Chris (Charlie Sheen), who stands in for Stone as the narrator of Platoon. "This ain't your place at all." It is, though, and that is the rite-of-passage tragedy the film describes. For Chris is torn between the conflicting charismata of two sergeants: Elias (Willem Dafoe), a natural jungle fighter, and Barnes (Tom Berenger), a pure-blooded killer.

...budding freshman shirtmaker Antonio A. Pino ’10, who had several of his custom made shirts in the show. Spread out on an elegant looking table were his powder blue and exquisite pink herringbone spread-collar shirts, wrapped with ribbon and placed delicately in a silver sheen box. His shirts go for $90 to $120. No word on his sales, but hey, the designers have to start somewhere...
Size also matters. The larger South Sea pearls, typically 12 to 20 mm, tend to have a more satiny appearance, whereas the smaller akoyas, 7 to 9 mm, are prized for their quicksilver, mirrorlike sheen. To judge a pearl's luster, hold it under a light. If you see a bright, sharp reflection, the pearl has high luster and most likely a higher price...
