Atget was said to be short-tempered and eccentric, and in his 50s stopped eating anything except bread, milk and sugar. He and his wife, Valentine, a former actress, hung out with some of Paris' leading dramatists - though he left behind not a single portrait of friends or associates. One photo in the show gives a tiny insight into the photographer's world: Small Interior of a Dramatic Artist, which is actually Atget's own tidy, book-lined apartment...
...Whitney's standup routine of country rube one-liners is his bread and butter, but he's becoming a box office regular.

In their rough-and-ready way, the Jamestown settlers had planted the seeds of a dynamic system, democratic capitalism, along with...
...Soviet Union since the advent of perestroika five years ago, only served to sharpen the conflict between the country's two most prominent politicians. On one side is Mikhail Gorbachev, the father of perestroika and glasnost, the brilliant if testy infighter whose policies not only failed to put bread on the table but spurred most of the country's 15 republics to loosen if not actually break the ties that bind them to Moscow. On the other side is Boris Yeltsin, the Lazarus of Soviet politics, the blunt-spoken and somewhat erratic brawler of the streets who seems intent...
