...RALPH APPELBAUM, exhibition designer New York has always been a place filled with bold dreams, and architecture was meant to capture that spirit. On one hand, I imagine them building the World Trade Center as it was, with no floors, almost like a cathedral, but in the spirit of American resilience. I want to see it rebuilt exactly as it was and as fast as it was originally...
...Shallow men believe in luck," Ralph Waldo Emerson famously wrote, but World Trade Center employees who happened to miss work on Sept. 11 must think him a fool. We heard these stories all week, and they gave us a national case of goose bumps: the bus from Staten Island missed for the first time in four years, the car that needed repairing, the long-debated trip to Israel taken last week that proved safer than staying home.

When George Gershwin heard a youthful Adler play Rhapsody in Blue, he said, "The goddam thing sounds as though I wrote...
...residency at the Barbican, instead moving in and out of various London theaters for specific plays. Productions will no longer have to run in repertoire for the standard 18 months, a change intended to accommodate short stand-alone runs for star players with film commitments. Among the takers are Ralph Fiennes and Kenneth Branagh, former RSC players who have pledged to return. The company is spending more than $140 million to redevelop its Stratford base, including a new academy for young classical actors. And the RSC will send more of its touring companies abroad; a five-year program with...
