...case, Gaddafi survived the attack, apparently because he was not in his personal residence but, said a close associate, "underground"--presumably in a bunker where he often sleeps. His family was less fortunate: an 18-month-old girl, reportedly his adopted daughter Hana, was said to have been one of at least 37 civilian casualties of the raid. The dictator's two young sons, Saif al Arab, 4, and Hamis, 3, were injured and his wife Safia shell-shocked when bombs blew off the front walls of their living quarters...
...attack. Neil Livingstone, president of Washington's Institute for Terrorism and Subnational Conflict, proposes that a precise covert action directed toward a single figure may be preferable to a military raid.

While authorities have given the maestro a less than warm welcome, Horowitz clearly retains a special place in the hearts of the Soviet people. A two-hour rehearsal in the Great Hall of Moscow's conservatory left 1,600 spectators...
Unseen but much discussed is the suburban couple's daughter, a college freshman who has stopped attending class to provide round-the-clock sexual service to two men. The girl's relatives fatuously assure one another that her self-abasing behavior is a phase she will outgrow. In another subplot, the girl's parents consider divorce, but the audience cannot see the agony they profess to feel. The entire proceedings, staged by Mike Nichols, are life as viewed through Saran Wrap. Although Broadway Veteran Nichols has mislaid his gift for telling detail, he has evoked maximum slickness and verve...
