...along? Perhaps you would be tempted to buck the trend that's led to an average four-year gap between American siblings, up from 3 1/2 years a generation ago. Though it may be heresy for parents who do everything by the book, perhaps you would choose the sweet, messy bounty of having your kids close together. Among the positives: closely spaced siblings emerge from infancy in rapid succession, allowing their parents to purge the house of baby toys, sleep through the night again and resume their careers that much sooner. As kids get older, close spacing simplifies everything from...
...Tony nominations last week--scoring 15 and 10 nods, respectively. Don't think theater producers aren't paying attention. At least half a dozen musicals based on feature films are in the works, and chances are they'll now be on a faster track to Broadway. Among them: Sweet Smell of Success, from the Burt Lancaster-Tony Curtis classic about a ruthless gossip columnist; Thoroughly Modern Millie, above, a reworking of the 1967 film starring Julie Andrews and Mary Tyler Moore; and musical versions of Summer of '42, That Thing You Do and John Waters' Hairspray...
Reality TV is supposed to coarsen the culture, accelerating America's highly anticipated slide into the Sodom-Gomorrah metropolitan area. Survivor: The Australian Outback proved to be a huge letdown. TINA WESSON, sweet part-time nurse from Tennessee, took the million dollars, but sensitivity flowed from the other finalists too: COLBY DONALDSON (weepy mama's boy), RODGER BINGHAM (weepy schoolteacher), ELISABETH FILARSKI (weepy outback nymph) and KEITH FAMIE (just plain weepy--he broke down on live TV to propose marriage to his girlfriend). "I wanted it to be a kinder game," said Wesson, of the unfortunate lack of backstabbing...
Gozo Poderoso (Powerful Joy) digs deep into Colombian traditions. The gently melodic songs are marinated in regional rhythms, including cumbia (a hot, syncopated dance music) and vallenato (a sweet, accordion-led genre). There are also futuristic flourishes: electronic beats, turntable scratching and tape loops. Luz Azul (Blue Light) is a song of hope directed at Colombians: "Let the emotion of the music penetrate you/Let the discord slide past you." Another track, Fantasia, is more overtly political, comparing American international influence to the tyranny of the Roman empire. But some of the best numbers are unabashed, almost old-fashioned, love songs...
...starting gate, the shooting range and all the other skiers. That'd be tricky, but it's doable. Then just throw my skis and rifle and all my other junk in the rental car and drive like hell back to Jackson Hole, change my flight and head back to sweet, sweet Jersey. No more skiing. No more hills, no more lactic acid hell. Just hug my wife, play with my kids for a while, take a nap on the couch and forget this ever happened...
