...growing number of producers who are seeking out that crowd. She has co-produced three shows that have thrived largely on the strength of the younger audience: Freak, John Leguizamo's one-man show that had a successful Broadway run last season; I'm Still Here...Damn It!, Sandra Bernhard's monologue-plus-music, which has just opened on Broadway after a hit engagement downtown; and De La Guarda, a performance troupe from Argentina that has become a hot off-Broadway attraction. Joining them are a batch of new plays making a determined effort to attract the long-neglected...
...cannot believe the law should ever sanction euthanasia--the very word sounds sinister to me, an Orwellian corruption. The trouble is, I also like the libertarian thought that a person damn well has a right to die when he wants to.

And their consequences--many of them unintended and often enough unexplored--persist, subtly but surely affecting the ways we all live...
...viciousness of the military response hardened attitudes. "Damn this country!" muttered a student as he tied a wet towel around his face to ward off the tear gas. One distraught resident asked bitterly, "If the military is so brave, why don't they fight other countries--why do they attack the people?" And while the police and the army were booed and pelted with debris, the crowd cheered the arrival of the marines--who had fraternized with protesters who forced out Suharto in May--thus prompting wild visions of civil war.
