...drop Joseph Andrews and Walker Evans without someone throwing a brick at my head, will I? And most frighteningly of all, somewhere in the back of my mind, the thesis clock has started to tick--freedom will soon come crashing to an end, and long nights of genuine scholarship await. Sometime between now and unemployment, I've got to squeeze in some education...
...producers fear that his learned , tragicomedies demand too much of audiences intellectually and indulge them too little emotionally. Stoppard's Hapgood mingled a spy story, a love story, games of mistaken identity and reflections on physics, and has never had a major U.S. production. The same fate may well await his new play, although it is by far the best from any British writer in years...
...President narrowed the possibilities to a two-step strategy.

Along with stepped-up sanctions on Serbia, Washington hoped, a credible threat of force would obviate the need...

The military procession was headed for the surrounded enclave of Srebrenica, where 15,000 Muslims await evacuation, thus far in vain. Despite a World Court ruling in Bosnia's favor against alleged aggression, and the debut slated this week of NATO warplanes to enforce what so far has been a meaningless ban on military flights above Bosnian territory, there remains scant international consensus to punish Serbia for refusing to recognize...
