...some people why they refuse to see Stomp, and they will paint a picture of a bored four-year-old running around, banging pots on a rainy day. That perception hardly does justice to the performance. Sure, it doesn't take a genius to enjoy the show. It takes, rather, a genius--or in this case two geniuses--to turn the simplicity of sound and dance into a spectacular evening of entertainment. In 1991, creators Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas realized the simple joy that a four-year-old can take in banging pots, and brought that happiness...

There is talk of grand ideological warfare, of reckless spendthrift Democrats and reckless plutocrat-loving Republicans fighting over how to divvy up the glorious $3 trillion surplus. In this season's budget politics, much...

In Eliot House, for instance, some students who complained were told to deal with the roaches themselves...
