...screaming and hollering and disorganized, what can we expect our children to be?" The message hit home for Ozzie Williams, 56, a former crack addict who is rearing two teenage sons. Williams, now a born-again Christian, said his kids were "used to being yelled at. I learned to tone myself down." Churchworkers helped him find housing, furniture, psychiatric counseling and tutoring...
...electric fiddle and the syntho-pop ambiance makes serious evaluation difficult. But there is no doubt about the talent of Leila Josefowicz, whose Carnegie Hall performances of the Sibelius Violin Concerto with Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony two months ago were revelatory.

Kim '97 handled his several solos with penetrating clarity and a strong tone...

Fairly distant from his character, Benjamin seemed to be reading lines from a script, as if he lacked the time to incorporate emotion into his role. With a lackadaisical stroll and a tone lacking in energy, he failed to drive the show forward...
