Across the U.S., mental-health care has become a shambles -- fragmented and misfocused. One problem: the system is geared to episodic, not chronic, care. "We're spending about 70% of our mental-health dollars for hospital care," complains Leonard Stein, director of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Mental Health Services Development Program. "What we're doing is waiting for people to have psychotic episodes and putting them in the hospital to take care of that, which we can do very well. But once the episode is over, that doesn't mean the person is cured." Patients are caught...
Undergraduates are invited to tonight's free "Celebration of Music and Theater." The program begins at 4:45 p.m. and features the works of T.S. Eliot '10, Leonard Bernstein '39, and Gertrude Stein, class of 1897, among others. Harvard students and alumni will perform, as will Luise Vosgerchian, a professor emerita...
...ALWAYS SAID, PABLO. Frank Galati, winner of two Tony Awards in June as adapter and director of The Grapes of Wrath, performed the same tasks for this dizzyingly beautiful blend of imagery from Picasso's paintings, and poetry and music from the Gertrude Stein-Virgil Thomson Four Saints in Three Acts. Originally staged for the Goodman troupe in Chicago, it plays through July 22 at Washington's Kennedy Center...
...build it, they will come." That rallying cry, from Universal's hit film Field of Dreams, embodies the sentiment that inspired Stein and MCA to develop 444 acres of snake-infested swamp into the largest U.S. moviemaking complex outside Hollywood and a handsome leisure world nearly twice the size of rival Disney-MGM Studios. With a partner, Britain's Rank Organization, and $640 million worth of muscle and imagination, MCA was ready to pose a serious challenge to Disney, on its own terms, for the hearts, minds and discretionary income of the 13 million tourists who visit Central Florida each...
...delays were one more obstacle in Stein's Sisyphean journey to realize his dream park. He had first proposed the idea two decades ago. In 1980 he pitched a partnership to Paramount, where Eisner was president before taking over Disney. (Eisner says he was not at the meeting.) Last year Cineplex Odeon backed out as co-sponsor. And still Stein pursued his vision, like the Jaws shark searching for fresh kill. In the weeks before the opening, he walked dozens of journalists through the unfinished attractions. So beguiling was Stein's spiel that some reporters obligingly described the experience...
