...pitch is what he calls "unchurched Harrys," 25-to-45-year-old professionals who have become disenchanted with the stodgy ritual and sanctimoniousness of many traditional churches. "This is the generation that grew up on television," says Hybels. "You have to present religion to them in a creative and visual way." The multimedia weekend services are primarily intended to attract this group into the church. Holding them together is the job of the more Bible-based Wednesday-evening services and the church's 70 subministries. In addition to offering the traditional Sunday school programs and Bible-study groups, Hybels ventures...
...legend -- as the premier American-born dancemaker, whose works for the ballet and Broadway suavely merged high art with pop culture. Robbins has always been a spellbinding storyteller; the narrative clarity of each movement instantly draws viewers into the roiling emotional life of his characters. In his comic ballets, visual gags fly past like precision pies in a Keystone caper. This show proves he is back where he belongs, on a street that belongs to him: Jerome Robbins' Broadway. He has prepared meticulously for this moment: nine months of research, 75 days of rehearsal and seven weeks of preview performances...

...joined to the Fogg on Prescott Street, with its main entrance through the second floor of the Fogg. Not only will the location compress the space between exhibits, but it is hoped that it will make what is now a series of tar paths and dumpsters visually pleasing. The new complex will also be integrated with its famous neighbor, the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, which was designed by French architect Le Corbusier. The ramp from the Carpenter Center which now opens into the unused rear of the Fogg will lead to a plaza and the new main entrance...
People with a particular talent -- especially a visual talent -- are seldom the best theorists of what they do. Georges Seurat, for instance, was tiresome on pointillism. So perhaps Richard Saul Wurman, a graphic designer who creates the delightfully unorthodox Access guides to cities, should have left it to someone else to explain how people can organize the overflow of data that saturates contemporary life. Information Anxiety is an intermittently diverting self-help guide, Megatrends crossed with What Color Is Your Parachute? But it is more a collage than a book -- with digressive marginalia, diagrams, stray factoids and snatches of autobiography...
