...hotel room, preparing for the biggest gathering ever of the Promise Keepers, the group he founded seven years ago. A day full of meetings has caused his 6-ft. 1-in., 200-lb. frame to slump, turned his trademark baritone voice into a whisper and probably added a touch more gray to his short, salt-and-pepper hair. But his eyes, peering out from behind steel-rimmed tinted glasses, still possess an uncanny intensity as he meditates on the first chapter of Paul's Letter to the Colossians, the Scripture text for his address to the hundreds of thousands...
McCartney has managed to touch the hearts of men who don't consider themselves religious at all--the way a coach can get the toughest jocks to huddle for prayer.

...second problem was more subtle: a wire that is .25 microns wide is so small that once you've built it, you can't touch it. So instead of trying to unroll tiny wires onto silicon chips, microprocessor engineers laid down a thin sheet of metal and etched away everything they didn't want. What was left were microscopic paths of metal just wide enough to carry a current. But while chipmakers had developed any number of ways to etch aluminum, no one had yet figured out how to etch copper. Doing that, IBM suspected, would require inventing a whole...

A particularly inspired touch is the inscription on the backdrop of the three major settings of the play-Covent Garden (where Higgins and Eliza first meet), Wimpole Street (Higgins' house), and Earlscourt (Mrs. Higgins' residence)-in phonetic spellings, lighted to show the location of the scene at hand. Less well-conceived are the two step-dancers who serve to bridge the scene changes; they end up looking rather silly and out of place amid the shifting props...
