...things have changed. The Broadway season just past far outshone its London counterpart. The writing was better, the staging was better, the acting was better. Moreover, American writers such as David Henry Hwang, David Mamet and August Wilson had far more impact in London than Britons did on the Main Stem. And Broadway's musical hits were homegrown, while most London musicals of consequence featured American creators, recycled American songs, American topics, or all three, and were generally mediocre to boot. Fortunately, three British stalwarts -- a writer, a director and an actor -- have mounted superb tragicomedies that give the season...
...richer ironies of Soviet political life that Gorbachev initially served as Yeltsin's patron and mentor. During the 1970s, Yeltsin was party secretary of Sverdlovsk (pop. 1.4 million), 850 miles east of Moscow, and thus came to know Gorbachev, his counterpart in the city of Stavropol.

The initial session went better than Washington could ever have imagined. Both Aronson and Pavlov appeared intent on solving problems rather than scoring points. Each clearly spoke with...
...this week's summit meeting in Washington, his host George Bush indicated that because too many Americans see Gorbachev as the bully of the Baltics, it might be difficult to lift trade restrictions against the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, Gorbachev's Foreign Minister, Eduard Shevardnadze, met with his West German counterpart, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, in Geneva. It was an upbeat meeting except on what may be the single most neuralgic point for Soviet foreign policy: Genscher reiterated that a unified Germany will be a member of NATO...
