...message, according to Noonan, is the constant relevance of the constitution. "It's important for people to know their rights and responsibilities," said Noonan. "The document can be alive if we want it to do something...
Liberace spoke reverently to his fans of motherhood, country and religion -- in earlier days his act featured a woman dressed as a nun outstretched in spiritual ecstasy as he played the Ave Maria -- but he poked constant fun at himself. His little-boy smirkiness brought out maternal feelings in women twice his age and eventually in women half his age. So did his soulful, unmacho sentiment: long before liberation, he offered the female public a man as romantic, as house proud and as appearance conscious as any of them.

In a previous attack, rebels handcuffed truck drivers to their steering wheels and executed them by tossing hand grenades into the cabs. In Mozambique, where resistance fighters are at war with the Marxist government, few foreigners dare venture far from the capital of Maputo or other relatively secure areas. Some who do so never return. When relief workers reached the Indian Ocean port of Vilanculos last year, they found that a five-member East German...
