Still, I must applaud the craft that obviously went into the film. The agility and movements of the muppets were smooth, and the voices were wonderfully done, especially Pep the Prawn's Spanich accent: He almost made the show worthwhile. The muppets' costumes were realistic to the point of being almost comical. For example, Ms. Piggy's news-anchor suit seemed to come directly out of Connie Chung's wardrobe. But that wasn't enough to keep me from checking my watch every few minutes...
...disintegration of the Northern Ireland peace deal were those of the seen-it-all-before marriage counselor: This was never going to be easy. Mitchell vowed Thursday to press on with his attempts to revive the peace process, saying he hadn?t been so na?ve as to expect a smooth implementation of last year?s historic Good Friday Agreement. "I am not surprised, but I am disappointed," said Mitchell, after holding meetings in Belfast with Northern Ireland?s political parties.

...Christina's offers a Cambridge original: Burnt Sugar ice cream, a flavor developed by a Lesley college professor who came here from Cambridge, England. Burnt sugar tastes just like the top of a crme brule. Its texture is firm, smooth and dense--just what an ice cream should be. Like some of the other flavors we tired, it would be just as tasty in the midst of a cold, icy Harvard winter. You do need to know, though, that burnt sugar is not overpoweringly sweet--in fact, it has a bitter edge...
