...case for the smaller-scale musical. It is a modestly produced chamber piece, with a minimal set and an orchestra of seven. What is right with the show all involves just one or two people, notably the first fine rapture of the title character's illicit infatuation with Count Vronsky and the pathetic disillusionment that sends her to her grim fate. What is wrong could not be fixed by any amount of dressing up. Anna is an earnest, intermittently moving but never quite thrilling stage equivalent to PBSs Masterpiece Theater -- lovely gowns, precise elocution and ballroom dancing, with a stately...
...decades, Africa could count on the cold war as an economic resource. The U.S. and the former Soviet Union muscled each other through African proxies, pouring in money to prop up pro-Western or pro-Communist surrogates. Now the big powers' priorities have gone elsewhere. Russia's most prominent expert on African economies, Sergei Shatalov, devotes his attention to his own country's debt problems.

...their numbers have swelled to more than 6 million, maybe as many as 12 million. Animal-rights activists have crippled the fur trade, and killing helpless animals for sport is no longer fashionable. The result is that these mindlessly multiplying creatures are chewing up more trees than anyone can count. It is foolhardy to suggest that the anti-fur-coat folks should now retreat and give thousands of women -- not to say the environment -- a break. It is not crazy, however, to provide the beavers with contraceptives, so Wildlife 2000 has arranged to trap beavers, sort out the females...
