...parallel seems to end there. Wisdom teeth are not funny. Guterman is. With a wry, self-deprecating wit, he attempted to explain what it's like to be a physics major-computer science jock-animator-filmmaker-artist-Harvard student. "Harvard is a sunny day, a leisurely stroll through the Harvard Yard...
Next week the Bay Area celebrates the Golden Gate's 50th anniversary as one of the engineering marvels of the world. Just after dawn Sunday, thousands of pedestrians will stroll across its 4,200-ft. span, repeating a similar parade that took place at the bridge's inauguration in 1937, when 200,000 celebrators paid a nickel apiece for the privilege of walking across the bridge on its first day. Those opening ceremonies, which included a flyover by 450 planes from three aircraft carriers, ended up $70,000 in the red. In these more extravagant times, expenditures for the golden...
Part of Stellenbosch's appeal comes from its isolation. The 14,000 students usually dress as if they were attending classes at a seaside resort: men in shorts or jeans and running shoes, women in white or pastel-colored blouses and slacks.

One regular customer attributed the diner's demise to the closing of local factories and the changing demographics of the neighborhood; with fewer workers and more professionals, the demand for a local center dwindled. During those hours when it is still open...
...French surroundings, as it often is. The scenery, by Nicholas Georgiadis, is pleasing if not quite light and airy enough. The costumes, also by Georgiadis and supervised by Anna Watkins, are breathtaking, not only sumptuous but redolent of a royal fantasy. The stage is filled with personages who could stroll the mirrored corridors of a palace. The Queen, for instance, wears a lyrical ivory silk dress, inspired by a Van Dyck portrait of Charles I's French wife, to her child's 16th birthday party; when she wakes from a magic spell a century later, she is in an 18th...
