...Touch of the Poet was to be the first of an eleven-play sequence titled "A Tale of Possessors Self-Dispossessed;" by the curtain call, the audience understands why and is grateful that O'Neill never completed the other ten. While the conflicts of the play, both domestic and ideological are expertly crafted by O'Neill, he never achieves the necessary element of making us care. Until the last scenes, there is no movement, no reason to watch. The question of whether Lord Byron or Thoreau win in the end is not enough to sustain a drama. By the time...

Sauntering behind the two titans was the third superstar, fresh from finishing his eleven hundredth piece for Natural History magazine. He was starting to have a following amongst starry-eyed Harvard undergrads who called him "Anecdote Man" (or, at least, I call him Anecdote Man).

One witness, a close friend of Mr. Bobbitt, claimed that the latter had told him that during sexual encounters...
Never have so many aid workers paid such a high price for their commitment. Eleven U.N. relief staff members have died in Bosnia. Kidnappings, shootings and death threats are part of the job description in Somalia, where six aid workers have been slain. Although the Clinton Administration denies it, there is a perception that the U.S. has chosen to abandon Somalia rather than contend with the dangers. Turkish General Cevik Bir, leaving the command of the U.N. operation there last week, leaked an "eyes only" letter to U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, indirectly chastising the Americans and Europeans...
