...political consultant since James Carville. He looks like an owl (with fewer tufts) and has an obsession with history that seems quaint in the age of Jesse Ventura and Warren Beatty. The morning before last week's Iowa straw poll--which passes for a historic event at this infant stage of the presidential race--Rove's client George W. Bush spoke to supporters at a restaurant in Davenport while Rove lurked in the background, a cellular phone in one hand and a massive biography of Benjamin Disraeli in the other. What could Disraeli, the great 19th century British Prime Minister...
...their profiles, eagerly awaiting an offer they can't refuse. Unlike traditional auctions, though, bids aren't binding--there is more to picking a new boss than simply finding the right salary. So once the auction period ends--anywhere from one to five days--an accepted bid sets the stage to close the deal. "It gives you a starting point," says David Braverman, of Woodmere, New York, who runs a marketing agency and, after a week on the site, is putting final touches on a project with a Web retailing startup...
...Dylan took the stage first in his joint outing with Paul Simon at Jones Beach Theater in New York on July 31, and he put on a show that was hard to follow.

There are also several high points: on Don't Waste Your Time, Aretha Franklin and Blige stage a soulful summit meeting on trifling men, and on All That I Can Say, Lauryn Hill, the song's producer and writer, serves up a gorgeous melody. Blige and her female collaborators want to reach out to men, but, if need be, these sisters can do it for themselves...
...Italian nurse is worlds apart from his despondent teenager routine as Romeo. Likewise, Green's portrayal of an alternately insane and Valley Girl-esque Ophelia is completely dissimilar to his abruptly lyrical Hamlet in the "What a piece of work is man" speech. Amblad and Green share a rare stage chemistry; it will come as no surprise to the audience that they have played these (and other) roles together before. They performed with Sabrina Howells of Boston University.in a production of The Compleat Works this past spring at the Loeb Experimental Theatre. Burke, who in the time between play-episodes...
