| | | Suddenly, Dallas Says HUD Segregation Investigation Is a Blessing BY JIM SCHUTZE  For six years we have talked about an accusation that Dallas practiced deliberate racial segregation in redeveloping downtown. In the last six months we have talked about City Hall's absolute defiance of that charge. So, imagine my surprise when assistant city manager Theresa O'Donnell told me the city is no longer disputing the lion's share of the charge. Amazingly candid and specific in her remarks, O'Donnell said the city intends to comply fully with demands about to be put before it by the federal government. She said the federal investigation leading up to those demands uncovered fundamental weaknesses in the city's approach to housing. She even said the findings would present the cit... more >>

One or two customers prop open the door, obscuring the view while letting hot, muggy air pour in, and the line extends beyond them, out onto the patio where more customers buzz about, discussing coveted flavors. Have you had the peanut butter yet? Briefly, the line recedes inside t... more >> | | | | | | It's the Rise of the Dawn of a Stellar Apes Sequel BY STEPHANIE ZACHAREK  Who knows why, but the sight of apes sitting tall and proud on horseback is stirring in a primal way. That's one of the best images in Matt Reeves' Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the sequel to the enormously successful 2011 Rise of the Planet of the Apes (directed by Rupert Wyatt), in which a bunch of chimps, after breathing in a vaporized version of a special serum, become super-smart and break... more >> | | | | | | | | DTC's Steamy Les Miserables Updates Hugo BY ELAINE LINER  Turns out the revolutionary way to stage Les Misérables is to take the French revolutionaries out of it entirely. No frilly shirts. No peasants waving big red flags. None of that ghastly marching-in-place every other Les Miz (or Les Mis, if you prefer) uses for clap-bait toward the end of the 90-minute first act. Dallas Theater Center's new production of the musical moves it into now &nda... more >> | | | | | | DC9 At Night Although Queen has remained hugely popular worldwide for over four decades, the band's albums have always proved rather spotty. As a matter of fact, it can be especially challenging to make it th...
