...SOMEONE who has never spent an evening under the footlights (it can get very dark under the stage) I came to the Mather House dining hall after dinner on Wednesday out of sheer curiosity. Would the production feature midgets? Dachsunds? My questions were answered right away as I walked in, and was confronted by a bevy of real, live, normal-sized troupers who charmed their way into my heart with some hefty renditions of some hefty Broadway show-stoppers. The show stopped each time a song ended, as the ten talented cast members re-positioned themselves on the stage...
...think we tend to forget what a nuclear exchange would be like" and "I think the sheer sense of danger in nuclear weapons has been missing in the last decade, he said, citing "the sobering experience of a thermonuclear explosion...
...five birdies on Friday, his first coming on the second hole, and his last on the par-five 16th. His birdies included the ninth, one of the most famous and breathtaking par threes in the world.

...sheer spectacle, the Boston Ballet's third annual Sleeping Beauty, which closed last night, succeeded lusciously. Peter Farmer decked out the Fairies in stained-glass blues and greens, as peasants and the Prince's hunting party cavorted in the golds and reds of a New England autumn, and the courtiers looked as though they'd just stepped off a wedding cake, with popsicle-orange feathers bobbing on their bewigged heads. And the decor, especially in the second act, atoned for a flock of balletic bumbles. The ingenious use of layered, semi-transparent drop scrims melted the bright grove...
