...Middle East, whose international chairman is former Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban. "Our effort was intended to clarify the ambiguities," said Rita Hauser, a member of the Jewish delegation and a New York lawyer active in the Republican Party. "I believe we have done that." Swedish Foreign Minister Sten Andersson called the meeting "a breakthrough in the peace process...
...with aides -- dubbed the "bunker boys" by sharp-tongued colleagues -- or performing ceremonial functions. He lingers at receptions, hoping that people will talk to him and, more important, be seen talking to him.

His lyrics mix roguish wit (Bangkok contains the unlikely couplet "Tea, girls--warm and sweet--warm, sweet/ Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite") with the blistering bitterness of Evita. Andersson and Ulvaeus' score ransacks melodic styles from plainsong to Puccini to Gilbert and Sullivan to Richard Rodgers to Phil Spector to hip-hop, in a rock- symphonic synthesis ripe with sophistication and hummable tunes. The Shubert Organization's Bernard Jacobs, a man not easily given to rapture, says, "Very few scores...
