People all over the world were shocked: Michael Jackson still has fans?

Before seeing the plays I boned up on 19th century Russian radicals by reading the fact-packed 88-page program; by the time the lights went down Saturday morning, I felt ready to be a contestant on "Masterminds." Only with Stoppard does the theatergoer have to cram for a show...
...terror alerts were issued across the continent. In Britain, the Home Office issued a statement saying that terrorists may "try to develop a so-called dirty bomb or some kind of poison gas," though within an hour the statement was replaced by a less frightening one. In Berlin, Germany's intelligence chief, August Hanning, said on TV: "The fear is very concrete that we must reckon with a further attack ... of perhaps great dimension."
