During a game of checkers, a regular barside attraction with Vinnie, Vietnam vet and checker master, the Harvard Square character shared his game strategy with an FM staffer: “I’m going to make you disappear. Well, not you. Your checkers. I don’t ever want you to leave. I want to chain you to my bed.” Then he tried to seal the deal with a sloppy kiss. Now that doesn’t happen at Daedalus...
...Broadway. Little has changed since the show opened last year; it is still tremendous fun and all the original performers still with the piece have only deepened their portrayals. Of particular note, Ana Gasteyer, on summer hiatus from Saturday Night Live, made for a winning Columbia, and theater vet Terrence Mann, who originated leads in Cats, Les Mis, Beauty and the Beast, Assassins, and the Scarlet Pimpernel, has recently taken over Frank-n-Furter’s high heels and lingerie from the dazzling Tom Hewitt. He was quite promising in his debut and should be a top-notch Frank...
Cage used to be just an actor--a fabulously unpredictable one, equal parts promise and menace. For his first decade in movies, he danced on the weird side: as a blond goofball in Valley Girl, the blind Vietnam vet of Birdy, Moonstruck's one-handed Romeo, the drifter haphazardly hired as a killer in Red Rock West.

Quite the contrary. It stars Monty Python vet John Cleese as a Las Vegas casino titan who sends some hapless losers on a cross-country race, all for the amusement of a bunch of inveterate international gamblers wagering on which desperado will grab the prize: $2 million in a remote bus-station locker. Before the race is over, Whoopi Goldberg is stranded in the desert; Seth Green and Vince Vieluf, as two brothers whose greed is matched only by their stupidity, get trapped--in their Ford Bronco--atop an airport radar tower; a cow flies; Cuba Gooding Jr. hijacks...
...disease. When such carriers are champion stud males used to father large numbers of litters - in some breeds they may sire 400 litters in a lifetime - they can do widespread damage to the health of their breed. But pooches with health problems still win prizes. John Smith Baxter, a vet in northern Leeds and once the star of a long-running TV series on vets, recalls examining a top Crufts spaniel and finding that both its patellas (the kneecaps of the hind legs) were slipping out of place, a condition almost certain to have been caused by an inherited developmental...
