Despite the calendar, the revolutions of 1989 have not yet ended. As one East bloc regime after another was shaken by political change last fall, only one Communist government in Europe managed to withstand the political earthquake unscathed.

...their speed, their unforgiving accuracy -- is also what's so daunting. Here is an especially slick and simple piece of software that doesn't stint on wizardry and exudes a comforting, almost cozy familiarity.

A word-processing program is included...

Women, who have no President's Days or Memorial Days or Columbus Days, are stuck with two red-letter slots on the calendar--Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. In a sense, both play the same function. They pay symbolic tribute to the stereotypically feminine attributes of emotional sensitivity. They demand ritualized male acquiescence, elaborate paeans to women's invaluable role in the private sphere...
