...young stand-up by telling him his favorite show-business story. The plane carrying Glenn Miller's band is forced to land in a snowstorm. Two of the musicians are trudging through a snowy field and see a snug little cabin in front of them. They peer through the window and see a husband and wife laughing with their two apple-cheeked children in front of a roaring fireplace. One band member turns to the other and says, "How do people live like that...
...modern home, growing in size in proportion to one's SUV, filled with technology for those too lazy even to open their window blinds and flooded with the mind-numbing drivel of billboard-size televisions, seems more a reflection of the external world's chaos than an escape from it [LIFESTYLE, Oct. 14]. Sadly, as you noted, this new American home is not about "family cohesion" but about "accommodating different lifestyles."

But I wasn’t supporting it—I thought it was awful, taking over a University building...
...liberate ballet from conventional theater. Mateo and his 15-year-old company have negotiated a 41-year lease at the Old Cambridge Baptist Church, which they moved into in July 2000. A Gothic church replete with vertical lines of tracery and paneling as well as a gorgeous stained glass window by Louis Comfort Tiffany may be an unlikely venue for a dance troupe. However, the notion is not entirely alien to dance. The Judson Church in New York’s Greenwich Village was the place choreographers Trisha Brown, Lucinda Childs and Twyla Tharp collaborated to help create postmodern dance...
