...eyes swivel towards the “fine, strapping, muscular young fellow”—and then, a burst of unscripted laughter. Gilbert and Sullivan might have intended Robin to be a mast-like man among men—but apart from his height, the thin and artsy-looking Morris doesn’t quite fit the bill.He manages to remain in character and swagger a little, puffing up his chest as he smugly replies, “I know well enough that few men are better calculated to win a woman’s heart than...
...analyzing scientific tools themselves. “The Putnam gallery is much more than a collection of tools and a museum piece,” department chair Allan M. Brandt said. “It’s more of an active learning space.” With only thin glass cases separating visitors from the tools, the observer can closely analyze the pieces. “It’s great how the thin casings don’t pose very many barriers, amazing how close you feel to everything,” said Elizabeth E.

On the pristinely produced Jersey Boys original cast CD (with helpful liner notes by Gaudio aficionado and ex-TIME senior editor Charles Alexander...
...antique but resilient notion of Manhattan's glamorous otherness-of a WASP elite as tall, thin and gleaming as Deco skyscrapers, of an oasis of chic, an object of pride and envy for the white ethnics living in Brooklyn and the Bronx and Paramus and points west-has a lot to do with a 10-block patch of midtown real estate called Broadway. That's where the swells dressed up for the opening night of a Gershwin show starring Fred and Adele Astaire. The Woolworth Building, four miles down the street, was the Cathedral of Commerce; the village of legitimate...
