...common suggestions is, 'Why don't we just ship L.A.'s ozone up?' " says chemist Sherwood Rowland. "Well, 30% of the ozone is in the stratosphere, and it drifts down from there to the lower atmosphere rather than the other way around. The energy that would be needed to move the ozone up is about 2 1/2 times all of our current global power use. If you could take every power plant in the world, every piece of coal and every oil tanker, the energy would be insufficient -- and then you'd still have the problem...

...pliable things, and I can't get too upset just because two people happen to ply them in similar ways. And to be honest, footnotes bug me.

But the leads -- Costner, Mastrantonio, Christian Slater as Will Scarlet, Micheal McShane as Friar Tuck, Morgan Freeman as a Moor displaced in Nottingham -- are all American, intoning flat varieties of American English. They sound like tourists stranded in Sherwood Forest. And they inadvertently give a new meaning to the story: now Robin and his band are vagrant colonials who save England from those who can actually speak the language...

...brisk, bold spectacle, a radical new look at a beloved full-length classic, The Sleeping Beauty. It's not perversely set in a Paris slum or Sherwood Forest, as an avant-gardist might have done. The sumptuous fairy-tale illusion, as well as almost all Petipa's choreography, has been retained. But The Sleeping Beauty is usually a dozy night at the ballet -- a prologue and three acts with three intermissions.
