OVER THE YEARS I have known any number of people who have reminded me of Laura in Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie," currently at Baltimore's Center stage.Williams' play takes its title from the sparkling collection of miniature glass animals that is Laura's most precious possession. In Laura's mind, the tiny crystal beasts represent all that is lacking in her dreary life -- beauty, vitality, freedom to explore the possibilities of love.In a deeper sense, the collection is also a metaphor for Laura's own mental and physical fragility, as well as that of her family.

The day after Gov. Martin O'Malley's 18-year-old daughter was briefly hospitalized, apparently after drinking alcohol, the first lady called the incident a "teachable moment." "We … encourage all parents and teenagers to be safe this graduation season," Katie Curran O'Malley said in a statement Friday. Tara O'Malley, the second-eldest of the governor's four children, graduated Wednesday from Notre Dame Preparatory School and had been at a celebration Thursday. A Baltimore police officer found her "apparently unconscious" with a friend at the Inner Harbor about 7:30 p.m. She was treated at Harbor Hospital and released that night.
