...A.R.T. has a reputation for razzle and controversial showmanship; Antigone is a diamond in a string of rubies and emeralds. Compared to another A.R.T. Greek tragedy, their Bacchae of the 1997-98 season, also directed by Francois Rochaix, Antigone lacks explosiveness. Perhaps more effort went into their Bacchae because that play called for the loud dithyrambic energry that the A.R.T. often brings even to playwrights like Brecht. Antigone provides fewer opportunities for special effects. The one dance to honor Dionysus that comes late in the play is seized; it is more exciting than the rest of the play...
...hype surrounding the Michael Douglas-Catherine Zeta-Jones wedding was awfully bloated, but at least they actually got married. MADONNA, however, has been publicly flirting with marriage to film director GUY RITCHIE for months. There was the bagel-size diamond ring she'd been sporting, plus rumors of a Scottish ceremony, the baby they had together--all the usual celebrity nuptial signs.

Similar worries surfaced about Tony Smith's "Stinger," a diamond-shaped, 6'6" prism that had been displayed at the 1968 Museum of Modern Art sculpture garden before traveling to Europe. "Stinger," suggestive of physical transition or spiritual passage through a portal, forms a cavernous 32' square, which raised concerns about public sex, in addition to distaste for its large steel presence. Demolition prevented "Stinger"'s installation the day before it was supposed to go up. On May 25, unidentified vandals smashed the cement mount supports for the piece, forcing Tucker to send it back to its Jersey warehouse...
...Sigmund Diamond, a Communist for nine years, had been offered a position as counselor for foreign students and dean of special students. But when Dean of the Faculty McGeorge Bundy learned of his Communist past, he told Diamond he would have to turn over a list of his political associates or he would lose the offer. Diamond refused and left for Columbia University...
