...talk to great cheering crowds, that too would seem appropriate, consistent with his place in her young universe. But what if one day, while she is watching, he is blown from the dais by five thugs -- a grotesque reversal of the nature of things, a wiping out of the sun? Can her spirit survive it? Can she avoid being twisted by it? Can it be overcome...
...spectacle of men getting dressed up as divas and belting out Verdi in falsetto may seem a specialized taste. But the appeal of La Gran Scena goes well beyond that of your usual drag show.

In dizzying succession, the yuppies hit us with the jicama, the kiwi, the leek and the miniature eggplant. By the end of the 1980s, thanks to their heroic efforts, every Midwestern town sported a fern- filled "Maude's" or "Davio's" offering white chocolate mousse and blackened fish. For those who could afford to eat fashionably, dinner replaced...
