...between Albert Einstein (Mark Nelson) and Pablo Picasso (Paul Provenza) in a Parisian bistro right at the turn of the century. Both men are in their early twenties, and each one is on the verge of his greatest accomplishments. During the course of the evening, the two men argue, duel, exchange ideas and learn a thing or two from the other. Martin keeps the surprises coming, and any who see the play may rest assured that they will be delighted at the special "guest" he introduces near...
...what happened? Is 1995 really so far away that the two most charismatic, star-studded teams in the American League couldn't last past the first round?

And getting a good deal from Clinton is never easy. "If [Republicans] think Lucy's going to keep the football...
...number of smokers declines in the U.S., however, look for a market-share duel to the death. When cigarette advertising on TV and radio was barred in the early 1970s, RJR's Winston was the household name in cigarettes. Philip Morris adapted better to print, though, and boosted its Marlboro brand to prominence. RJR needs to regain some ground, but it won't be easy. "We'll all be jockeying for position in Playboy and Penthouse," an RJR insider quips. Adult magazines are among the few places the tobacco companies would continue to advertise...
