...Marriage of Bette and Boo is essentially a tweaked autobiography of the deeply troubled marriage of Durang's parents, and of the difficult years he had growing up in a less-than-perfect family. Along with a stream of stillborns, Durang drags onstage a number of horrifying events which would normally only be fodder for serious family dramas (including alcoholic fathers, sexist inlaws, overbearing mothers, bitter siblings, ruined holidays, ineffective counseling, desperate mothers and the death of aging parents), shows them in all their horrible glory, and manages to somehow leave the audience in stitches...

...their secluded getaway on Green Turtle Cay. Good question, thought her spouse. By 1988, Bertiger and two colleagues had drafted blueprints for a revolutionary new system that would blanket the heavens with communications satellites--77 in all--bounce a cellular call from one to another, then beam the data stream downward 420 miles to one of 12 earth stations where the call would enter the terrestrial telephone network. Motorola dubbed the system--and the company it spun off to build and operate it--Iridium, after the 77th element on the periodic table. (After trimming the number of satellites required...
