...defend democracy against Mugabe, a dictator who suppresses freedom by torture and murder. If Western nations can fight to defend democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan, then surely they can do the same in Zimbabwe, where a war against Mugabe and his supporters would be over in a week. Colin Segal, SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA...
...that viewers should have trouble pegging the characters. There's Megan, the prom queen, top scholar, clique leader and occasional megabitch--a real Heather from Heathers--but with a family tragedy the movie reveals only near the end.

Claudio Arrau, piano, with Sir Colin Davis conducting the Staatskapelle Dresden (Philips). The pedagogical grandson of Liszt (through his teacher in Berlin, Martin Krause), Arrau, 83, is equally at home in the Transcendental Etudes, the Brahms sonatas and the Beethoven concertos, lavishing on each his pellucid tone and his hardy technique. The Beethoven concertos have long...
