The kooky, dark humor of playwright Nicky Silver may make him somewhat of an outsider among those who favor entertainment-for-entertainment's sake, but he's become a regular attraction at AXIS Theatre, where his comedy, "The Food Chain," opens tonight.AXIS has previously produced Silver's "Raised in Captivity" and "Pterodactyls." Now director Brian Klaas returns to Silver's offbeat world, which is as brimming as ever with neuroses and insecurities. Gina S. Braden, Bethany Brown, Patrick Martyn, Sean Rivers and Dennis U.

SEN. BOB DOLE attacked Hollywood's values and products last April while campaigning for president in Iowa.A reporter's search of computerized archives of newspapers found no previous such foray in Dole's long career. This led to speculation that candidate Dole was just moving tactically to cover his flank on the cultural right, where such veteran cultural right-wingers as Pat Buchanan were a possible threat.A good theory, but after last week's second Dole attack on Hollywood -- this one delivered in a speech in Los Angeles -- it's necessary to think about other motives on the senator's part.
