...Australia was clearly thrilled to be showing off like this. Sydney had been buffed to a gleam for the Games, and a sparkling late-winter sun shone all week. The "Today" show set up by the opera house to catch sunrises on the harbor and sunsets behind the bridge. Restaurants and hotels filled, athletes sprouted in multicolored warm-up suits, photo ops clogged the botanical gardens. The sunny phrase "no worries," a curious affirmation against doomfulness, was heard over and over, as was a new quintessentially Australian sentiment: " 'Ey, all we 'ave to do is beat Atlanta! Not a very...
...Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime). Frank Galati, who won two Tony awards for The Grapes of Wrath, is the director; and Kathleen Marshall, who choreographed Kiss Me, Kate and many of the enthralling Encores! musical revivals, is in charge of the dancing.

And that's just the lead. The New York Times shone the light on Ronald G. Mock, a picaresque Texas public defender who has a wing of the state's death row named after him. The portrait is flattering neither to Mock nor Bush's courts. A similar Tribune investigation prompted Gov. George Ryan's moratorium on executions in Illinois - but though...
...Harvard finished third at Heptagonals, and despite not finishing as high as the team would have hoped, there were a few individual success stories, as Taylor shone in all the events she participated in. Taylor's 4x100 relay team beat Harvard's 10-year record with a time of 46.81. Taylor also beat the school record that she had previously set in April for the 100-meter high hurdles with a time of 17.71. In her third event of the meet, Taylor became the first Crimson woman ever to break the 12-second mark for the 100-meter sprint with...
