...Archbishop's fall had a bit of everything: a sex scandal, an Internet cabal and even a Stephanopoulos. Not to mention speed. Last week, three short years after the Greek Orthodox Patriarch in Istanbul installed Ohio-born Archbishop Spyridon, leader of 1.5 million American believers, Spyridon bitterly gave his resignation. It was as if the body religious had rejected a transplanted organ...
...another worry: influence peddling. "Whenever any mob pulls down this kind of money, you have to be concerned about its possible political influence," says TIME's William Dowell.

...Speed is the principle pleasure of The Compleat Works of Wllm. Shkspre. (Abridged), showing through August 8th at the Hasty Pudding Theatre. From the beginning, the play's trio of actors (Erik Amblad, Will Burke and Adam"Waka" Green) plainly state their mission--to present all of Shakespeare's plays--and take off like horses from a starting gate. They begin with a comparably lengthy rendition of Romeo and Juliet, continue with truncated versions of the Tragedies, and, with time running short, condense the Comedies into a skit in double time, and further distill the Histories into a few symbolic...
