...cast is admirable, notably Faith Prince as the abandoned wife, Michael Rupert as her ex-husband, Stephen Bogardus as the man he left her for, and Price as the psychiatrist. The fulcrum of the ensemble is the child of the broken marriage, on the eve of his Bar Mitzvah, played with just the right blend of anxiety and healing gumption by Danny Gerard, 13. Each actor gets at least one beautiful, revealing song, and all of them make William Finn's music haunting. This individual excellence adds up to general excellence: for craft and for heart, Falsettoland is the first...
Theologically, Carey is not on the right wing of Evangelicalism. For instance, he rejects a literal interpretation of the creation and Adam and Eve in Genesis.

Why were the "bosses" still loading up their cars with scarce goods? "We are a rich agricultural area," complained one speaker, "but everything gets sent to the center...
...eve of the summit, Bush proposed another compromise: NATO would consider nukes "weapons of last resort." Just how much change that represents is unclear. National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft says it merely implies using nuclear weapons "later rather than earlier." Thatcher and Mitterrand fought against it nonetheless, and the communique wound up throwing the "last resort" doctrine into the future; it would be adopted only "with the total withdrawal" of Soviet forces stationed in Eastern Europe. That satisfied Thatcher that any change was merely semantic, and she signed. Mitterrand had misgivings even then, but went along for the sake...
