...gutsy production radically improves on its Broadway model: the 1966 and 1986 hit Sweet Charity, dazzlingly restaged for a North American tour by its original creator and re-creator, Bob Fosse. From the first appearance in silhouette of the title character, a taxi dancer who in the face of all experience remains a fool for love, to the ironically identical finale, this version zips along with style, assurance and the ingredient it lacked in its 1986 Broadway reprise, real heart.

This is where Matewan hits pay dirt. As a union Judas, Bob Gunton pours cautious reason into the miners' ears, then sets Joe up for a fall -- a fine, taut, implosive job.

Governor Michael Dukakis divides his week, not quite so cheerfully, between the road and the Massachusetts statehouse. One Sunday night in Knoxville, Iowa, he wistfully told two dozen citizens how Sunday used to be his sacrosanct family day. But there he was at yet another coffee hour, fresh from a debate in which his record had been attacked, and he wondered if he might have some pecan pie with ice cream before...
