Victor Jannett's Rigoletto was less satisfying and, as the central character of the opera, embodied the troubles of the production. His baritone was adequate, if not especially exciting, but it somehow lacked sheer force at crucial moments. Part of the problem lay in that his voice was drowned out every time the orchestra launched into the "curse" motif. And although he made a valiant effort to look appropriately anguished, his arm-waving and facial expression never quite succeeded in evoking the passions of the embittered hunchback...
...that An thony Lake has the votes he needs to win Senate Intelligence Committee confirmation as CIA Chief sometime next week, but he's certainly off to a bad start as the man who proposes to manage the flow of the most sensitive information. Bad enough that La ke somehow never learned from his NSC subordinates of keen FBI concerns that China was trying to influence congressional elections. Questions about his competence deepened today on reports that even after his own NSC tried to warn the White House that Joh nny Chung was "a hustler" who might embarrass the Clintons...

I was worried that I had somehow misattributed this fine-tuned criticism to gender issues, so I looked long and hard for men that were picked on about their appearance. However, even the harshest critique of President Clinton or Bob Dole in jogging shorts were nothing compared to the venom spit during the Hillary Clinton headband debate...
...footprints in the talc around the candle may evoke visions of eerie nocturnal rituals, the sheer physical pleasure of padding over the silky tracks induces giggles rather than fear. As we leave our traces around the room, Meireles appeals to all of our senses but taste. Yet it is somehow impossible to find an underlying grammar to order our perceptions. Although his materials seem related to combustion (the talc could double as gunpowder or ash), they are somehow irreconcilable. Candles don't smell like gas and neither they nor pure gas fires produce ash. Where is the wood...
...good with Edward Scissorhands, in which Depp played an abandoned monster with cutlery where his digits should have been, trying with sweetly contained but (considering his weaponry) dangerous eagerness to adjust to suburban normalcy. Everyone from moony adolescents to case-hardened movie critics could read the silent, yet somehow unsentimental, plea for succor emanating from his deep obsidian eyes, wonderfully set off by whiteface makeup...
