...which encompasses complicated themes. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf is an extremely difficult one for a college cast to tackle, because, simply speaking, it is a middle-aged play. The actors with whom most viewers will associate the characters from Who's Afraid are Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, who seemed to live their parts in the movie version...
...every reporter's dream to be on the spot for a major news story. TIME's Hong Kong Bureau Chief Sandra Burton has experienced the attendant rush of adrenaline more than once during the three years she has spent covering the Philippines. Perhaps her most unforgettable -- and terrifying -- moment came at Manila International Airport on Aug. 21, 1983. After flying with Opposition Leader Benigno ("Ninoy") Aquino on China Airlines Flight 811 from Taipei, Burton watched as Aquino was escorted from the plane by Filipino soldiers.

More than two years later, Burton was interviewing President Ferdinand Marcos at Manila's Malacanang Palace when an aide burst in and showed the President a wire service dispatch announcing Cory Aquino's candidacy in the national presidential elections.

At the Whitney, Dakota Jackson's UFO-shaped Saturn stool (1976) and R.M. Fischer's enormous, intimidating Max lamp (1983) are like fakey props from 1950s science-fiction films. Burton's saw-toothed aluminum chair (1980-81) seems to be a throne awaiting a space-age dictator, Dune-style. Bruce Tomb's wood-and-granite propane cookstove (1983-84) seems at once oddly futuristic and jerry-built--in other words, postnuclear...
