...seats than all other parties combined. That electoral bloodbath left the Tories with only 165 members and many of its top leaders not only out of power but without even seats in parliament. A defeated John Major announced that he would step down as Conservative Party leader. "When the curtain falls, it's time to get off the stage," he said, before tendering his resignation as Prime Minister to Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham palace. Though Thursday's elections put a decisive end to 18 years of Conservative rule, Labour?s direction remains unclear. Blair has spent the last two years...
...days when our national security was allegedly under constant threat from the world behind the Iron Curtain, it is understandable though not at all excusable that we would pounce on any holiday we deemed "un-American." But now the threat has been reduced to nil and Americans can rest assured of their global supremacy for many years to come.

The simple but handsome picture frame around the luscious stage set was a perfect touch. Anything so beautiful as all this, one thought, promises to be entertaining...
...wonderful time. It was Chelsea's seventeenth birthday, they came last Saturday, and he was there with Chelsea and with Hillary and with two or three of Chelsea's friends. And then they came upstairs to the stage, when we dropped the fire curtain, and they spent about forty minutes with the cast and everybody else. It was just delightful. He said it was very, very powerful, he loved it and he was impressed with the impact on young kids. And Chelsea loved it. And they came to New York specifically for Broadway. It was in all the papers...
