That may be about to change. Goodman has landed the hottest part on Broadway: from March 19 he will replace Nathan Lane as the crooked impresario Max Bialystock in the wildly successful revival of Mel Brooks' The Producers - where seats are scarce despite a record top price of $100 and broker prices reaching $480. The musical is due to hit London in 2003. So the casting of this Broadway almost-newcomer (he worked there in 1998 in the long-running Art) is big news...

...Americans, this new alliance has caused a reappraisal of the previous opening-up to Don King. The boxing impresario had always been inscrutable, speaking a language of double and triple entendres?and quadruple negatives?that made his pronouncements the subject of devoted Don-ologists who conjectured as to the inner workings of his Cleveland leadership compound. That Beijing chose to appease King is a tribute to the Chinese commitment to the very ideals King best embodies: bare-knuckle capitalism combined with the stench of corruption. (King lured IBF and WBC heavyweight titlist Hasim Rahman by reportedly giving...
