...this notion, the meat of Wedekind's sex tragedies, Earth Spirit and Pandora's Box, has been all but completely lost in Lee Breuer's production of Lulu at the Loeb. Lulu, the angelic witch who seduces men with her blend of whorishness and innocence in the Wedekind plays, has become the eponym for an adaptation by Michael Feingold. Feingold, and the company in rehearsal, have updated the play by translating it to a contemporary landscape. So we get references to the Dalai Lama, Lulu moves on roller skates, Schwartz the painter becomes Carbone the fashion photographer, Rodrigo the acrobat...
With a poignant blend of sadness and stoicism, the hostages conveyed Christmas greetings to their Stateside families. The messages reflected their own understated hope that they might soon be free-and indirectly, outside Iran, inspired new resentment over the fact that they had been held for so long in such an unlawful way.

Sanders ran a popular restaurant in rural Corbin, Ky., for 27 years before setting out in 1956 in his trademark white suits and black string ties to sell franchised eateries serving chicken parts laced with a secret blend of herbs and spices and pressure-cooked for 12 min.

From the beginning, Buckley's urbane and often sarcastic journal has reflected his blend of libertarianism, orthodox Catholicism and unwavering conservatism. N.R. has consistently opposed Communism, detente and wage-price controls, while supporting increased defense spending and the deregulation of virtually everything. Recent articles have scoffed at equal opportunity laws, asked why sex education, but not prayer, is allowed in public schools, urged the Republican Party to stand by its tough campaign plank on judicial appointments. Though N.R. is hardly one of the handsomest magazines around, it does exhibit a rare appreciation for the power and variety of language...
