Bush often brags that he does not look at polls, but that is in part because he has Rove to do it for him. The two men delight in the game--a fact both the President and his staff go to great lengths to obscure. "They both love this stuff, and so they talk about it in shorthand. It's like talking about baseball," says a senior White House official. And it showed throughout the campaign: "The President knew what was in nearly every ad. He was getting that from Karl." He had a junkie's appetite for the polling...
...career has also undergone a major renovation. After he received accolades for Breaking Away in 1979, high-profile roles in such films as The Right Stuff and Innerspace made Quaid one of the 1980s' most promising leading men. (He has more than 40 films on his resume.) Then came the 1990s, when cocaine and a string of forgettable movies derailed his career. But these days he's very much back in play. Earlier this year he starred in The Rookie, a hit baseball drama about an aging jock with one last chance to join the major leagues. It was quintessential...
...early rehearsals, the Rage musicians--Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk--laid down what Cornell calls "riff-based, very heavy, no-brainer 'we can all do this' stuff."

It's odd hearing Cornell, one of the few rock singers who can belt it out high and clear, fight through Morello's machine-gun fuzz on Cochise. And when Cornell...
With its sinister plot and dark magic undertones, Chamber is frequently a much darker concoction than the frothy, lighter-than-air stuff that was its predecessor. Murderous voices emanate from walls, legions of spiders scuttle through broken window panes and epithets scrawled in blood appear on hallway walls, foretelling imminent doom to students. This evil takes a more palpable form in the guise of Lucius Malfoy (Jason Isaacs), Draco’s father, a pale, embodiment of evil who drips with malevolence. He is but one example of the pitch-perfect casting and superbly restrained performances delivered by the supporting...
Last November, the annual Young Playwrights Festival in New York debuted Nursery by Julia Jarcho’03-’04, a play hailed in The New York Times as “Terrific stuff, stunning from a teenage writer.” Jarcho slides into the director’s chair as well for her latest production, The Highwayman, which will open today in the Adams Kronauer Space. The Highwayman is inspired by the Alfred Noyes poem of the same name published in 1907. (Jarcho notes that her play is inspired by, not adapted from, the poem...
