Worse, the chill wind of recession is in the air. Overall European growth will slow as oil prices climb. Paul Horne, the chief international economist for Smith Barney in Paris, points to recent protests in France over cheap meat imports from E.C. partners as signs of a potential "backlash against increased competition, industrial as well as agricultural, that can be expected." Nor will rising oil prices affect all E.C. countries equally. The dislocations triggered by the gulf crisis are bound to test the strength of European cohesion...
...musty chill of the Dordogne, 30 ft. below ground, giant bulls, painted in red and black, gallop across undulating walls. Nearby, a cavalcade of horses, ibex, tiny deer and cave lions dances along the curves of rough limestone. Are these soaring images sacred or profane? A large bespectacled woman closes her eyes and sighs in wonder. She imagines a time, perhaps 20,000 years ago, when rituals were performed in this same hidden cave in the flickering light of animal-fat lamps. Slowly, tears stream down her cheeks. "It's like a church," she whispers. "You feel you can understand...
...considered a ((wine)) connoisseur," writes Richard Nixon in Forbes FYI, a new supplement to the business magazine. The former President's article provides evidence that his modesty is well placed. The Sage of Saddle River proffers advice that wine lovers will recognize as misleading or downright wrong. Never chill a red wine, he decrees. In fact, most Beaujolais and some other fruity reds benefit from cool temperatures. Nixon says California's consistent climate renders vintage years virtually irrelevant as a guide to quality, a claim that would be disputed by the Napa and Sonoma vintners who suffered through icy rains...
Even the powerful Times has felt the chill. Its ad linage during the first half of the year was off 13% compared with the same period in 1989. But while nobody doubts that the Times will continue, optimism about the tabloids is hard to find. The Post, a mix of catty gossip columns, conservative editorials and chest-thumping sports reporting, hasn't earned a penny in nearly two decades. Press lord Rupert Murdoch lost $150 million during the 12 years he owned the paper. He was threatening to close it down in 1988, when Kalikow, wealthy and eager to join...
...production is so good that even a predictable climax -- the villain's armed intrusion at the wedding of a shepherd he despises and a maiden he means to rape -- achieves the abrupt power of surprise. Among a solid ensemble cast, Jack Heller is a wonderfully hissable overlord, full of chill arrogance and hot rage, and Domenique Lozano and Stephen Burks are the most affecting of his victims. The chief asset, however, is the play itself, which is both a singular masterwork and a reminder to every U.S. nonprofit theater that there remains a rich array of unproduced European stage classics...
