Fortunately, since we spend our time combing the performances for clues, the actors know to engross us with their characters and yet still leave us hanging. Rabbit brings Meg to new lows in ditzoid blowsiness, to such an extent that she sometimes doesn't appear to know to be afraid when she is threatened. This makes it especially difficult to believe her belle-of-the-ball past when it's mentioned, but the comic potential of the suggestion makes up for it. Rabbit shows the eloquence of stance alone, as does Nuccio. Meg's hands are permanently raised, ready...

...privately held Newhouse chain, which owns 26 daily papers, while pouring money into its newsroom operations at New Jersey's Star-Ledger, in Newark, and the Cleveland Plain Dealer, is also giving its online services a push. "What we are trying to do is reinvent the paper to the extent it is necessary to come up with a product that people in the '90s think is valuable and essential," says Star-Ledger editor Jim Willse...
