...barnyard. Sheep, goats, ducks, rabbits -- even deer -- roam around. "We're finding the prisoners who have pets are less violent," says Psychiatric Social Worker David Lee. In a double bonus, women inmates in Gig Harbor, Wash., are training special dogs to aid the handicapped. For one family with a daughter who suffers from a neurological disorder, a dog was schooled to pick up signals of an impending seizure and alert the girl and her parents. "The dog knows before the girl does that she is going to have one," says Leo Bustad, president of the Delta Society, a Renton, Wash...
Justiniani's political evolution is typical of how the Communist movement has spread through Philippine society. The daughter of a rich landowner on the island of Negros, a Communist stronghold, she joined the rebels in 1973, when she was 17. Deceptively gentle in appearance, Justiniani was at first stirred by the nationalist opposition to the Marcos government's pro-American policies. Now a rigorous Marxism sustains her. After spending years in the jungle, she claims, "I know the peasants and what they feel. I have witnessed their suffering. In some ways I have shared it. The army backs the landlords...
...youngest daughter of a Baptist minister, Edelman inherited her sense of mission at an early age. "Helping other people, I did it as a kid like other kids go to the movies," she says.

Many of the other performances rival the West End originals; Randy Graff's splendid Fantine, utterly persuasive when, on her deathbed, she "sees" her absent daughter, is actually an improvement. In three major roles, however, the new ensemble falls far short: Terrence Mann sings Javert impeccably, but in an effort to humanize him, loses his obsessive core; Leo Burmester as the grasping innkeeper Thenardier and Jennifer Butt as his wife are neither scary nor funny, depriving...
...sequel, he imagines an Englishwoman, Susan Barton, marooned on the same island with the lonely men. For almost three decades, according to the original version, the Yorkshireman lived womanless, out of reach of the English language. In Coetzee's tale, the estrous Susan is in search of an abducted daughter. En route, she becomes the mistress of a ship's captain. Mutineers seize command and set her adrift in a small boat. It grinds ashore on the celebrated island, and within hours she is in the company of the white man and his mutilated servant, made tongueless by some cruel...
