- Headline: Sondheim's Sweeney Todd Takes Center Stage. Impact: If 'Sweeney Todd' hadn't been such a hit, Broadway might have been deprived of its obsession with dark themes, possibly leading to a world where musicals are still about fluffy cats and rainbows instead of cannibalistic barbers.. Fact: Sweeney Todd's favorite pastime? Hiding the bodies. If only he'd invested in some decent plumbing instead of a meat pie shop!.
- Headline: AIRLINES IN A PUSH FOR SHORTER LINES. Impact: This push for shorter lines could have spurred an entire industry dedicated to speed-walking and cutting in line. Imagine the Olympics featuring competitive line-cutting events. Gold medals would be awarded for the most audacious moves.. Fact: Airlines: the only place where you can lose your luggage and your sanity simultaneously. At least they’re trying to make the waiting game more bearable... or are they?.
