...others protest. I'll never know if I could have made a difference, but I regret not trying. Rosemary Garro Tanfani Fair Oaks, California, U.S. While Newbold may have heard The Who, he clearly did not listen to them. If he had, he would have been in tune with the thousands who protested before the war. And he would have noted the voices that tried to break through the wall of sound erected by the Republican Party. If the good General wants to say he was fooled again, he has certainly earned the right. But there were many here among...
...draped with old pop hits from Elvis or the Beach Boys. Except that this time someone has written new songs, which kind of defeats the purpose. The show winks at the audience so relentlessly, with references to ?80s icons from Flashdance to Mr. T, that eventually you just tune out. Some good tunes would have helped, but the score (by Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin) is forgettable, like most of this overblown show...
...season finale of Grey's Anatomy, Rhimes, 36, found it hard to believe that her first shot at a prime-time drama has turned into such a monster hit for ABC, consistently ranking among the top five prime-time shows.

Some 32 billion cumulative viewers are expected to tune in to the World Cup, and an additional 3 million people will be taking in the tournament in 12 German cities. For both companies, it is the setting for another epic chapter in their ferocious rivalry...
...Just as buoyant is the score. How could it not be, with Broadway's premier songwriting siblings near the top of their form? The title tune got to #8 on the hit parade, and two others, "Who Cares?" and "Love Is Sweeping the Country," still put a 2/4 spring in the step of many a geriatric. But the score was no succession of stand-alone ballads and dance tunes. Ira referred to the show as an operetta and, in the Gilbert and Sullivan mode, each song fits into the plot, advances the improbable story and fleshes out the characters...
