...driest year of the century, a drought that could easily become as wasting as that in Ethiopia. As a result, the country is producing less and less food for more and more mouths as flocks of starving refugees crowd over the borders from parched neighbors, especially Ethiopia and Chad. Sudan is already sheltering 1.2 million refugees, and up to 4,000 newcomers arrive every...
...those Kirkpatrick zingers that so well reflected the old Reagan, the one unburdened by presidential propriety. And at the White House last Wednesday, having reaffirmed her intention to go back to academe, she rushed from the Oval Office declaring she had to return to New York and bolster Chad as it went into verbal battle with villainous Libya.

Admittedly, Miss Julie is a manipulative coquette who delights in ordering Jean to kiss her feet and be her dance partner. Yet as Dishy's performance illustrates, Julie is also a pitiable character, a girl with a sordid past and an emotionally empty present. Similarly, Norris' refreshingly human portrayal of Jean transcends the stereotype of the noble savage and simple Marxist social commentary. While Jean admittedly experiences humiliation as a servant of aristocrats...
