Broward Center’s ‘A Bronx Tale’ a well-worn story, done well
The musical-comedy “A Bronx Tale” feels like a story you’ve been told before.

One-to-one with Enrico Dini, the Italian who invented binder jetting for construction
Throughout history, many Italian geniuses did not reap the benefits of their inventions. Just think of Galileo, excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church for having understood the motion of planets. Or more recently Meucci who invented the telephone only to have Graham Bell obtain the patent and build an empire with it. Many great visionaries had...
