...preparation for a typical musical has its familiar anxieties: cutting a favorite song, replacing a dialogue scene, finding some extra business for the star. That?s nothing compared to the three-year ordeal of putting J.R.R. Tolkien?s fantasy trilogy on the Prince of Wales stage in Toronto. How to choreograph the great battles Tolkien described? To visualize the dozen realms in the great saga? To blend narrative, drama and music in a 3-1/2 hr. production, and do it all without retakes and post-production computer effects? Most daunting, how to satisfy the million of Tolkien fans whose...
...institutions that discriminate based on sexual orientation would pass constitutional muster. If discrimination is truly as fundamental to these organizations’ missions as they claim, they would be perfectly free to put their money where their mouth is, so to speak, and forgo special tax treatment. With the extra tax revenue thus collected, Massachusetts could augment its non-discriminatory state-run adoption services more than enough to compensate for the Catholic Charities’ most un-Christian decision to exit the adoption field—without compromising the state’s commitment to non-discrimination.

...bones. With all those caveats in mind, however, it seems clear that the benefits of calcium and vitamin D supplements are small for most women and probably fairly modest even for those at greatest risk of cancer or bone loss. In addition, the studies found that women who take extra calcium have a 17% greater risk of developing kidney stones. Fortunately, there are other ways to increase bone density. Weight-bearing exercises help, and there are several prescription drugs that have been proved to work. For more information, talk to your doctor. And be sure to have a colonoscopy...
...restaurant opening in Harvard Square will be a franchised hole-in-the wall and not a local hole-in-the-wall, we applaud the establishment of any student-oriented business in Harvard Square. After all, the last thing we need is another bank. But students had better grab that extra over-ripe piece of dining hall fruit just in case, because there is a caveat to IHOP’s debut. Thanks to the Cambridge License Commission (CLC), undergrads will not be able to take advantage of the late- (and late-late-) night hours that make IHOP so famous. Instead...
...disfranchised, and even of superiority to the American model, but it cannot be sustained as it stands. Therefore, despite the popular backlashes, reforms must advance. The young and unemployed in France make up more than 20% of the population ,and small businesses are not willing to deal with the extra costs of huge marginal tax rates, compensation, and other labor costs. The bill might be incompatible with post-World War II standards, but just like Germany and Italy, France has to adapt in order to save its precious safety net. If reforms do not pass, the whole European project...
