...honest, the new revival, though fluid and exceptionally well sung, isn?t quite ideal. Kelli O?Hara, as Nellie, has a pretty, pool-clear voice that - in earlier shows like the revival of Pajama Game - impressed me as the closest thing to Mary Martin this side of heaven. But in the role that Martin made famous, she falls a couple of notches short on the adorability meter. Danny Burstein?s Luther Billis could use more Bilko-esque humor, and Matthew Morrison as Lt. Cable is bland. On the other hand, Paulo Szot, as de Becque, scales down the operatic bombast...
Still, McCain has at least signaled a willingness to address his critics' legitimate concerns. His colleagues on the other side of the immigration debate aren't budging. They worry, reasonably, that it is hard to assimilate 1.5 million newcomers each year, especially when the vast majority of them are poor people from one country (Mexico) that shares a long border with us. But they have not found a way to raise these questions without sounding hostile to illegal immigrants or, worse, to Hispanics in general.

...perfect self-presentation was over the top. “He’s very well-spoken, pretty gentle-mannered,” Yeh said. “He knows exactly what he wants to say, but I’d like to see a more personal side.” He also expressed skepticism about the leader’s ability to effect change in the country’s dialogue with the Mainland. “While [he] could potentially improve relations between Taiwan and the PRC, it remains to be seen how much of a compromise...
...including the $50 million the feds put up to entice an Anglo-Norwegian shipbuilder to the former Philadelphia Naval Shipyard and the funding that put hundreds of new police officers on the streets of Philadelphia. Rendell was the city's mayor at the time and always at the Clintons' side for the photo op. "I am the best messenger to Philadelphia and Pennsylvania about the 1990s," Rendell boasts. "What part of the 1990s didn't you like-the peace or the prosperity...
...holds so much sway in Pennsylvania politics actually grew up on Manhattan's Upper West Side. He migrated to Philadelphia for college and stayed there after law school, in the district attorney's office. In 1977 Rendell audaciously ran against his boss and beat him in the primary. But his faith in himself hasn't always been so well placed. Rendell fell far short when he ran for governor in 1986, getting trampled, as it happened, by Casey's father and setting up a familial rivalry-one that continues in the 2008 presidential race now that Casey is Obama...
