...Keala Settle (Tracy) appeared to be discreetly chatting with Paul McQuillan (Corny Collins) on the raised platform. Additionally, certain lines seemed to be specifically added to appeal to the politically liberal Massachusetts audience, such as “Manipulating our judicial system just to win a contest is un-American.” This line will probably not be in the show when the company travels to Texas. However, “Hairspray” is substantially redeemed by the outstanding performances of J.P. Dougherty (Tracy’s mom Edna Turnblad—basically, a large man is made...
...know this middle-aged jazz saxophonist who swears that Toni Braxton’s 1996 hit, “Un-Break My Heart,” is the most musically fascinating pop song of the twentieth century. I guess he must be right, because hella people have been revisiting that song’s tormented legacy this year!

But many members of the IAEA board are reluctant to foment a confrontation over the issue...
...Agency since 1997 and was recently reelected to a third four-year term, has not enjoyed the full confidence of the Bush administration, which initially sought to have him replaced when his second term expired. ElBaradei fell afoul of the administration in 2002, when the U.S. was seeking UN support for action against Iraq. The Bush case was not helped by ElBaradei telling the Security Council that his inspectors had found "no evidence" that Saddam Hussein had reconstituted a nuclear program...
