Some scientists are already comparing the idea of superstrings with the genesis of quantum physics, or even with the revolutionary work of Albert Einstein. Says Princeton Physicist Edward Witten: "It's probably going to lead to a new understanding of what space and time really are, the most dramatic [understanding] since general relativity...
Three things salvage the production: the visual ingenuity of Director David Giles, who, for example, opens this play about the loss of loved ones and renewal through fresh love with an image of autumnal leaves being swept aside; Edward Atienza's bravura performance as Feste the fool, repeatedly given center stage to emphasize the folly of lovers; and the glowing impersonation of Viola, the girl dressed as a boy who inspires love everywhere, by Seana McKenna.

On sunrise camera treks through Death Valley or the Canyon de Chelly, he showed that stony facts could engender the deepest feelings...

The list of prominent visitors was to include South Africa's Bishop Desmond Tutu, Senator Edward Kennedy and Vice President George Bush. "I wish Dr. King were here," gushed nine-year-old Akelia Cobb, excited by all the commotion. "Boy, I'd get his autograph twice...
