...exclusion are rare—the very history of this country, and the ways in which minorities continue to be portrayed by the media, undoubtedly affect people’s subconsciously held ideas about race. It is extremely foolish for anyone to think that Harvard and its students are somehow above this tainted environment...
...clear from the first note of the Encores! Follies that the best revivals bring a new clarity to old shows. Director-choreographer Casey Nickolaw, whose recent Broadway work (Spamalot, The Drowsy Chaperone) has been spot-on silly, somehow summoned a perfect reading of the antique text, and piqued in people who'd seen the show before one of those "Eureka!" moments. Now, we got it. We saw the maturity, the emotional wisdom in Goldman's libretto. His story - about two married couples who meet 30 years after the girls, chorines in a Ziegfeld-type revue, met their husbands...

Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat, charged that the emergency response was slow because the National Guard is overextended by Iraq. Supplies of heavy equipment are down to 40% in Kansas, she said--equipment needed for disasters at home. "If you don't request" new equipment, White House spokesman Tony Snow fired back, "you're not going to get it." Then it turned out that Sebelius had raised the issue repeatedly since 2005--even in one long conversation with Bush himself...
