Fortunately for the English, a dearth of new talent just means a greater opportunity to do more Shakespeare. And despite the slight air of defeat in the idea of facing the new millennium with a string of 400 year old plays, it's hard to complain when there are so many worthy productions of the Bard. Leading the pack is the National Theater's new production of Hamlet, starring the incomparable Simon Russell Beale.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE Officials in Cuzco, Peru, want to furl their flag, saying it too closely resembles the gay-pride banner.

...plan is safe for the economy. Much has been made about the Bush tax plan, since the Texas Governor has revealed precious little about any of his other policy proposals. The question is whether Bush's proposals are really skewed towards the rich, as the Democrats like to complain. If so, the failure of supply-side that characterized the Reagan era and contributed to a massive federal budget deficit could rear its ugly head again...
