BOLOGNA, Italy – Cars probably didn’t drive across the stage at the Vienna premiere of Christoph Willibald Gluck’s opera “Orphee et Eurydice.” I am also willing to bet the audience would have been shocked if the parts of the firemen were played by young men in red patent leather bodysuits.

A Greenwich, Conn., elementary school has banned cookies, ice cream and other sweets from the lunch menu. This might sound harsh, but we say the school couldn’t have made a better choice.
