Good Night, Oscar
About the Show ByDoug Wright “A bravura tour-de-force… dazzling and deeply moving.” — Chicago Tribune Set during a single unforgettable night of live television in 1958, Good Night, Oscar shines a spotlight on the brilliant and complicated entertainer Oscar Levant. Written by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Doug Wright, the play centers on Levant’s legendary appearance on The Tonight Show with host Jack Paar.

This exuberant and witty piece has proved me wrong.

Prognosis: Enhanced Soldier Survival
The Army's modernization strategy has one focus: Make Soldiers and units more lethal to win our nation's wars and come home safely. Lethality is important, but so is survival. That's why medical equipment modernization is just as critical as the modernization of other Army resources. WHAT CHANGED? The way the Army delivers medical care on the battlefield is dramatically different than it was 100 years ago, or even 10 years ago.
Configuring a waterblast system: Tool selection
The basic parameters for tool selection in pipe cleaning applications are pipe diameter, whether the pipe is straight or has an elbow, and the length of the run. The location and number of orifices in the cleaning head are dependent on whether the pipe is blocked (requiring forward jets) or has scale on the walls (requiring outward or radial jets) and how much pulling force is needed (requiring rear thrusting jets).
Configuring a waterblast system
When configuring a waterblast system, it is necessary to select appropriate pressure and flow rates. Parameters such as material properties, pressure loss and standoff distance should be evaluated to optimize cleaning. The properties of a material to be removed and the surface to which the material is attached determine the selection of the operating pressure and flow rate.

'Little Mermaid' sinks thanks to script
“The Little Mermaid” has the ingredients for a buoyant musical: Gorgeous costumes, beautiful voices, some solid acting.Blame the script. It lacks pizzazz. It’s heavy with bad puns. There’s nothing imaginative about it. That Disney magic just isn’t there. That’s a tad surprising: Disney’s stage version of “The Lion King” was a stunner. “Beauty and the Beast” easily won us over. But this? This is just blah.But then, grown-up theater reviewers aren’t the target; children are.
Five Books: Will McMorran recommends the best books on the Marquis de Sade
Could you just start by telling me about who the Marquis de Sade was? The Marquis de Sade was an aristocrat from a Provençal family, born in 1740. Born to a very old – and he was very proud of this – noble family. He could date his aristocracy way back to the twelfth century and that was very important to him. He grew up in a royal household for the first few years of his life.
