...Mitchell may have the Titanic of drag musicals. Since opening on Valentine's Day, Hedwig has attracted a mix of uptown theatergoers, kids from the club scene and celebrities like Goldie Hawn, Glenn Close and David Bowie. The show just won an Outer Critics Circle award for best off-Broadway musical, a concept album is in the works, and there's already talk of a movie. Couldn't happen to a nicer girly...
...took him all of one year to become vice president of Uptown Records after landing a job there at 19. Today, the 26-year-old is founder and CEO of BadBoy Entertainment, the record label through which, it seems, anyone who wants to make it big must go. The Bad-Boy family which he fathered includes the biggest names out in the hip-hop world, names like Li'l Kim, Mase and the late Notorious B. I. G. Even those not on his record label are clamoring to get a piece; Puff Daddy has produced hits with Missy Elliot, Timbaland...
...jurisdiction of a federal judge or find an outside institution free of HANO's own dubious 58-year history to run it. Federal officials decided to hand the housing authority over to Tulane University--a highly selective, overwhelmingly white, old-line Southern school situated in a picturesque neighborhood in uptown New Orleans.

According to the Federal Government's rating system, Tulane has pulled off one of the most dramatic turnarounds...
...structure is huge--at some 250,000 sq. ft., with 112,000 sq. ft. of exhibition space, twice as big as the uptown and downtown New York Guggenheims put together. And it is by far the most completely realized of Gehry's public buildings. On his native ground, this most original of American architects has had terrible luck: witness the endless and (to Los Angeles, in a civic sense) humiliating delays involved in the Walt Disney Concert Hall...
...retrospective show of the work of Robert Rauschenberg, which fills the uptown and SoHo branches of New York City's Guggenheim Museum and, as if that were not enough, the Ace Gallery in SoHo as well, is too big, too profuse, too sprawling--too damned much all round--to take in with any sort of ease. Curated by Walter Hopps and Susan Davidson, its bulk (some 400 works in all media) creates the fatigued impression that everything in Rauschenberg's vast and uneven output has been dumped into the hopper and left for the individual viewer to sort out. Which...
