...been our common bond, our unifying force, is being eroded," said Stanley Diamond, chairman of the California English Campaign. Governor Richard Lamm of Colorado, an outspoken leader on the issue, echoed the idea of English as this country's social glue before a congressional committee. "We should be color-blind but not linguistically deaf," he said. "We should be a rainbow but not a cacophony. We should welcome different people but not adopt different languages...
...more refinement and a better stage presence before the part will belong to her. Presiding musically is an unlikely figure: Manuel Rosenthal, 82, a French conductor and composer who speaks no German and has never commanded a Ring before. Rosenthal leads a symphonic performance noteworthy for its clarity and color. At its best, as in Die Walkure, Rosenthal's view of the score is fluid and graceful; at its worst, as in Gotterdammerung, it is merely glib.

Unlike most art critics who maintain that the woman's body in the foreground is twisted...
...populated Vineyard beach, you must bring a whole slew of different accoutrements (not things, accoutrements). First of all, no sexy bathing suits allowed. For women, anything by Ralph Lauren or Lilly Pulitzer (especially the pink zebra bikini) is acceptable. Other than that, conservative one piece suits in solid primary colors or simple prints are okay. For men, no Speedos. These belong in Cannes, not in Menemsha. The College-age-and-under crowd get points for the most outrageous Jams available (read: anything with Fuschia as a principal color). Young marrieds go for the white boy scout trunks--they...
