...soon saw it too. Just out of RADA he won the plum role of Judd, the cynical Marxist student in Another Country -- a performance whose laser intelligence and subversive edge announced an actor at the start of a brilliant career. He would fulfill that promise when the RSC's Adrian Noble cast him as Henry...
...past, said Adrian Hyde-Price of London's Royal Institute of International Affairs, "the Soviets would have invaded by now." This time, most Western analysts are convinced, Moscow will allow Poland to try a pluralistic approach -- as long as the new, Solidarity-led government honors its pledge not to leave the Warsaw Pact. "As long as Gorbachev is in power, there will be no direct interference," predicted Hartmut Jaeckel, a Polish specialist at the Free University of Berlin...

Franz Pforr and Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld? Johann Overbeck? Franz Horny or Adrian Zingg? Not household names, exactly -- yet interesting and sometimes remarkable artists, all the same. Hence the Morgan's show fills a distinct gap. None of the drawings and watercolors in it have been seen in America before; they are all lent from two great collections in the German Democratic Republic...
