True to its name, Echo carries Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers back from the quiet brooding of their She's the One soundtrack to the territory they cover best, both lyrically and stylistically: independence, defiance, rebellious love. Strange themes for a bunch of middle-aged industry veterans, but satisfyingly appropriate when you consider their enduring drive to crank out solid '60s-era rock 'n roll when their closest contemporaries have gone adult contemporary. "Free Girl Now," is a pounding emancipatory salute that, along with the similarly triumphant "Swingin'," and "Room At The Top" showcases the band's "screw 'em" mentality...
...strategy for war is relatively clear, the plan for halting it isn't. NATO's corridors, so recently filled with debates about whether to go into Kosovo, now echo with talk about how to get out. "Nobody has a clear crystal ball on this," admits an alliance official. The cautious compromise of Rambouillet seems a naive pipe dream in a land where compromise has been banished. Most Kosovar Albanians--to say nothing of the Kosovo Liberation Army--would never accept Belgrade rule. The White House has yet to endorse independence for Kosovo, but once Albanian Kosovars are returned, vows...
...Sire, do not talk to me of small projects," said the Great Cham of baroque architecture, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, to Louis XIV after the Sun King lured him to Paris. Foster is too much of a democrat to echo that sentiment, but it's a fact that his imagination runs naturally on the epic scale and that, more surprisingly, large size doesn't diminish the humanistic and spiritual qualities of his buildings...
...what do we do next. America must be careful to commit our military. But when we do so, we must do so ferociously. Once in, we should be in to win, and we should take no options off the table." You couldn't ask for a more explicit echo of McCain's position. Sooner than he might have liked, George W. is no longer trying to be all things to all Republicans...
Marber's icy dialogue has the timing of a TV sitcom and the lonely echo of a prison cell. "Is there anyone you'd like to phone?" Alice is asked in the hospital. "I don't know anyone," she replies. Marber, who doubles as the director, places his characters in pools of light surrounded mostly by darkness. Their isolation is symbolized further by the play's most startling and curious scene: Dan lures Larry into a bogus rendezvous by posing as a sluttish girl in an Internet chat room, their cyberencounter typed out on a giant computer screen onstage...
