Stephen Fleming's solo in the opening number, Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl," was thin and stilted, and Daria Witt's lead in the next number, Smoky Robinson's "Tears of a Clown," was too reserved to convey the song's emotional power. However, both numbers were tightly arranged and well-staged. And the next song, "Since I Fell for You," made for a nice change of pace, with Amy Daley's lead skillfully communicating vulnerability...

However, I want to make one thing clear ((and here Saddam was stepping back somewhat from his Aug. 12 statement)). The time linkage and the process leading to a solution of the Palestinian problem...
