...waiting for war. Some of the guys got into a separation-of-church-and-state debate; others complained about missing March Madness; some looked forward to this week, when the ammunition arrives and live-fire training begins. The most interesting discussion was about whether snipers should shoot the wild dogs that roam the perimeters of the camp. The brigade commander nixed the idea; the dogs are necessary to keep the rats...
...trail went cold sometime in December 2001, when Osama bin Laden slipped away from the caves and forests of Tora Bora in eastern Afghanistan into the wild White Mountains that stretch along the Afghan-Pakistani border. The precise date on which he left Tora Bora isn't known. Pakistani intelligence claims that he was gone as early as Dec. 8, when a bungled operation by American special-operations troops and their local allies to flush al-Qaeda leaders out of the mountains had only just begun.

...MENAECHMI OF PLAUTUS. Come one, come all, to this hilarious comedy of errors, otherwise known as the Harvard Classical Club’s production of Plautus’ ancient Roman comedy. A provocative medley of song and satire, this bawdy parade of stock characters and wild confrontations has charmed audiences for over 2000 years, providing the inspirational fodder behind Shakespeare’s A Comedy of Errors and Sondheim’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. See story on page B-6. Friday, March 14, at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, March...
CHICAGO. The potential revival of the Hollywood musical is upon us with Chicago—for better or worse. Ignoring its politicized ramifications as a genre revival, Chicago on its own is a pretty wild ride, showcasing once and for all that the new school of glitzy film stars can sing better than Jennifer Lopez. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger, and especially John C. Reilly are surprisingly watchable in this furiously edited, expensive adaptation of the murderous Broadway classic. Chicago screens...
