London theater, like Broadway, has had less than a banner year. No new Amadeus, The Real Thing, Cats or Nicholas Nickleby, no groundbreaking experience, has emerged to take the West End and then America by acclaim.

Schüssel says he will continue his "successful cooperation" with former FPO ministers under their new banner. Analysts say that by distancing themselves from the extreme-right members of the former FPO, Haider and his new alliance might win back voters lost because of the party's divisions and harsh policies. A recent attempt to stir up anti-Turkish sentiment backfired when FPO posters vowing "Vienna must...
...What would Jesus drive?" campaign.) Thus some religious leaders are linking pollution to the hot-button issue of unborn tots, who, after all, tend to be the most vulnerable to environmental toxins. At the pro-life march in Washington in January, two evangelical activists carried a large banner urging STOP MERCURY POISONING OF THE UNBORN. The idea for the banner came from Richard Cizik, vice president of the National Association of Evangelicals--who, perhaps not coincidentally, has a close family member with a learning disability that he suspects may have environmental roots...
