...photojournalist and her war-correspondent boyfriend one giant media-friendly cliché. And I had to laugh at New York Times critic Ben Brantley's praise of Next Fall, Geoffrey Nauffts' new comedy-drama about a gay couple at odds over religion, as "that genuine rara avis, a smart, sensitive and utterly contemporary New York comedy...

Come again? From where I sit, smart, sensitive, utterly contemporary New York comedies are virtually all we get these days: plays populated by the same modern, upper-middle-class urban sophisticates who, for the most part, are sitting in the audience. What you rarely get - but do in When the Rain Stops Falling, an extraordinary new play by Australian Andrew Bovell now having its U.S. premiere at Lincoln Center's Mitzi E.

...shift his focus away from the "bits and bytes" of the Internet to what he called the "batteries and biofuels" of green energy. As of last year, Kleiner Perkins oversaw a fast-growing green-energy portfolio of more than $600 million, including Silver Spring Networks, one of the largest smart-grid providers, and iControl, a company that makes Web-enabled home thermostats. Describing his investments as "missionary" work, Doerr stepped up his political advocacy for the energy savings they could generate. In 2006 he headed a lobbying push that led California lawmakers to adopt the first state limits on carbon...
