...paler than it did back in 1996, when it opened off-Broadway to so much acclaim that it made the jump to Broadway just two months later. The aids-centric story lines in this East Village update of La Bohème seem a little dated now, and the umpteenth replacement cast doesn't have the snap, or the voices, of originals like Anthony Rapp and Idina Menzel. Still, when the last performance of Rent plays on June 1, ending the seventh longest run in Broadway history, it will leave a void on the Great White Way, and theater watchers...
...admire Al Gore for two reasons: not only is he smart enough to turn away from the world of self-aggrandizement in which politicians live, but also the picture of his home office in Nashville saved my skin.

Obama knows he is inexperienced, and he knows that every wave eventually crashes--and that he'll need a second, more substantive act when, after his umpteenth visits to Iowa and New Hampshire, he is no longer a novelty. He has never experienced a tight, tooth-and-claw political marathon where even the tiniest of decisions, the smallest of slips, can have profound consequences. And he knows that Clinton has. The junior Senator from New York has spent...
