Casino magnate Steve Wynn offered Avenue Q's producers a theater and $5 million up front for an exclusive run in Vegas, in exchange for ditching the usual cross-country tour. "I wanted something completely different," says Wynn. "No hydraulics. No feathers. No fuss. Just simple theatrical...
Democratic strategists and former Clinton aides Paul Begala and James Carville led the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum on a whirlwind tour of the problems facing their party last night, promising the “election of a lifetime” in 2008. Almost exactly a year after CNN announced the cancellation of their talk show “Crossfire,” Begala and Carville released a new book in January, “Take It Back,” a strategy guide for Democrats to oust Republicans and restore Clinton-era politics. “The Democrats...
...With Australia having begun what looms as a tense tour of South Africa, it's timely to remember an innocent Ponting's fascination with cricket - and to hope that he remembers it too.

...true religion. Americans themselves probably see it as just another drug-riddled branch of the entertainment business. In addition, Lévy's European-ness draws him, like generations of other Old World observers, to all that is grotesque and egregious in the U.S. In his 25,000-km tour Lévy makes sure to visit a gun show in Fort Worth, a "partner-swapping club" in San Francisco, the gigantic Mall of America near Minneapolis, the Kennedy assassination site in Dallas, a Nevada brothel and two evangelical megachurches. He even gets into Guantánamo, which - having...
