TIME also received, for the fifth consecutive year, the Olivier Rebbot Award,* presented by Newsweek, for the best photographic reporting from abroad. David Burnett won for TIME stories on the Ethiopian famine and the 40th anniversary of D-day, along with coverage of Jamaica for National Geographic. TIME Picture Editor Arnold H. Drapkin summed up the double win: "Although TIME is not generally thought of as a photo magazine, these awards, year after year, underscore TIME's pre-eminence in the field of photojournalism...

...other relevant comments into antiphonal form: the lament of a hard-nosed cop will be answered by a raucous drag queen; the surreal anguish of Dan White (incarnated with creepy brilliance by John Spencer) will be followed by some wildly comic testimony that might have come from Carol Burnett's blooper barrel. Execution of Justice, directed by Oskar Eustis and Anthony Taccone, is a major work that seems to stand outside the perimeters of most Humana Festival plays. Yet its concerns are the same: to examine, with care and craft, the rending dynamics of American society. In life...
