They were not laughing last ? week. The plucky Byrne knocked Bilandic out of office, winning the Democratic nomination as the party's candidate for mayor by some 17,000 votes out of more than 800,000 cast. She not only beat the machine but Chicago's business and newspaper establishment, which supported the incumbent. Byrne is an overwhelming favorite to win next month over her little-known opponent, Republican Stockbroker Wallace Johnson...
...next big event on the Iranian revolution's calendar is the March 30 referendum to be held on the country's new form of government. All Iranians over 16 will be eligible to cast a ballot on a single question: "Do you approve the replacement of the former regime with an Islamic republic, whose constitution will be voted on by the nation at a later date?"

But, merged into a company, as at the beginning and end of the show, it was the performers' collective energy and not their individuality that shone. Der Manuelian made "It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing" both the opening and closing number. It served well--the chorus has an unforgettable tune...

Banks's "Love You Madly" used a great bit of stage business, bringing the entire cast out from under a giant envelope onstage, but Banks's deep-chested, poignant singing elevated the song from cuteness. Griffin made "I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good" the model of a torch song, alone on stage with nothing but a non-functional microphone, a spotlight and her voice...
