Hello, Dolly! was a big hit on Broadway in the 1960s, shedding its light on the Great White Way alongside the likes of Mame, Funny Girl and Fiddler on the Roof. But while the latter three get trotted out regularly by theater companies, Dolly's appearances are less frequent. Jerry Herman's musical score, after all, is more modest than the others, and the show's dramatics less riveting. But the story of Dolly Levi, the irrepressible matchmaker who overcomes loneliness and loss to take New York by storm, is a charmer.

Fifth-grade math teacher Nancy Cornelius requires her pupils to write checks and interpret cooking recipes during class. Tim Perry, a high school chemistry teacher, teaches students about the behavior of gases by having them construct and fly hot air balloons.Such innovations make the Howard County educators among the most popular teachers at their schools -- and are bringing them recognition from the White House.For their work in their schools and communities, Cornelius from Pointers Run Elementary School and Perry from Mount Hebron High last week received Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching.

Residents concerned about a proposed senior citizen complex in Glenwood questioned the developer's traffic engineer about possible dangers posed by the project's intersection with Route 97 during a public hearing last night.But traffic engineer Mickey Cornelius, vice president of The Traffic Group, said the intersection of a new road connecting the 116-unit condominium development and Route 97 will be safe and well within state and county guidelines.Developer Donald Reuwer is seeking a special exception to build the complex on 58 acres near Cattail Creek Country Club.

In recent years Arena Players has become a proponent of the work of Eugene Lee, producing area premieres of three plays by this up-and-coming African-American playwright.The latest of these, "Fear Itself," is the most patently theatrical. But while a move away from naturalistic, TV-style drama is a welcome one, both the play and Arena's production, co-directed by George and Nancy Barrick, are uneven.The staginess of the effort is clear as soon as a woman's scream pierces the opening silence and the lights come up on Cornelius (Jefferson Russell)

San Diego. -- Here, hard by Mexico, and with the surf's concussions rhythmically reminding natives of the ocean across which Asian immigrants now come as Europeans once did across the Atlantic, the debate about immigration rages. It is silting up with misunderstandings, according to Wayne Cornelius, director of the Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies at the University of California, San Diego.He believes one of today's problems may be too much rather than too little ''assimilation.'' Certainly the nightmare of many immigrant parents is that their children are becoming too much ''like us'' -- like the native populations they are closest to.The alleged failure of, or resistance to, assimilation is the basis of the cultural, as distinct from the economic, criticism of current immigration.

SALISBURY -- The Justice Department is being asked to investigate charges of racial discrimination at Eastern Correction Institution, among them that the warden promoted a dozen white officers even though he knew they may have seen the answers to the promotional exam.The Correctional Coalition, a group of about 100 officers and nonuniformed workers at the Somerset County prison, also alleges that white officers are given preferential treatment and that blacks are often subjected to racial epithets.

If I'm a Buffalo Bills fan, I'm fuming right about now. Steam is rising off me like Thurman Thomas' shaved head in sub-zero weather. I'm angrier than Cornelius Bennett each time he checks his birth certificate to make sure his parents really named him "Cornelius." I feel jilted and used. It's prom night all over again. I do my part to sell out 35-year-old Ralph Wilson Stadium, where installing cup holders in 1999 qualified as a renovation. Where a closer inspection reveals that the seat cushion I've been using actually is a sheet of ice. Where the season-ticket holders next to me are a family of penguins.
