...Theatre Company of Boston lacks faith, however. The company seems particularly unimpressed by Richard's dethronement, although the battle that precedes it features alarums, excursions and enough flashing lightbulbs to make one wonder whether Shakespeare might have considered writing a script or two for Star Trek. In fact the new production seems unimpressed by all the play's melodramatic moments, eliminating a lot of them and embarrassing the rest.

(One feathered courier brought back news of a forest fire last year.) Other backpackers boldly tackle the four-month trek from Canada to Mexico over the 2,350-mile Pacific Crest Trail, or try the 2,000-mile Appalachian Trail running from Georgia to Maine. Most hikers are under 30, but today many a trail crew includes the entire family, from kids to grandparents...
