...music to Andy Grove's ears. Grove, CEO of microchip colossus Intel, has a clear aim in partnering with CAA on the media lab: plant the "content community" with seed capital and hope like hell something grows. His $16 billion company is ramping up production capacity to the tune of $3.5 billion a year. But how exactly, Grove wonders, is Intel going to persuade people to drop another $3,000 each time a new, extra-ultra-powerful PC gets invented, instead of sticking with last year's merely ultra-powerful model?

...just bored. Within this genre, a successful show is immediately apparent, and within this model, "The Pirates of Penzance"--as produced by the Harvard-Radcliffe Gilbert & Sullivan players--is a triumphant success. The audience is entertained before it has a chance to be anything else: the orchestra is in tune, the actors are loud, clear and funny, the colors are as motley as a fruit market...
