...worth of Northrop jets, the company pledged to sell $2 billion in Finnish goods in the U.S. Northrop then offered $1.5 million to the International Paper Co. if it would buy a $50 million papermaking machine from a Finnish company instead of its U.S. competitor. This led Senator Russell Feingold of Wisconsin to push a law through Congress last year barring such payoffs as part of U.S. defense deals. "I am deeply troubled," he says, "by a defense company paying off third parties to take jobs away from American workers...
...witty, and perhaps most importantly, they made Wellstone look like he was a born loser, coming from behind. The candidate looked the part: short, unattractive, with disheveled hair and a goofy demeanor. (To gain pity point, you've got to cultivate the right image; although Wisconsin candidate Russ Feingold eventually won a Senate seat, his come-from-behind ads, though similar in content to Wellstone's, were far less effective. Feingold, a visibly slick state politician, announced that he was a Rhodes Scholar and then declared himself "the underdog running for the Senate...
...Clinton posed with an Elvis look-alike in Nashville last week and opted to go negative: "I don't think Bush would have liked Elvis very much--and that's just another thing that's wrong with him."

Michael Feingold's translation claims to reflect more authentically the 1928 Berlin debut than the Marc Blitzstein version popularized in the '50s. It is surely less effective. For example, it freights the naive scrubwoman anger of Pirate Jenny with sophisticated detail that is out of character, and enervatingly transforms the last syllable of the second-act finale from a strident long vowel to a swallowed short one. Jocelyn Herbert's cumbersome set obstructs movement, draining energy. But emotion intensifies after...
...Barry Nalebuff, an M.I.T. graduate with a doctorate in philosophy from Oxford University, is applying games theory to problems of disarmament. Princeton Classicist Nita Krevans (women were first admitted in 1972) is exploring how the publication of manuscripts changed the way the authors thought about their compositions. Historian Mordechai Feingold is studying early modern intellectual history, including the work of Britain's John Rainolds, who in the early 17th century helped translate the King James version of the Bible from Greek and Hebrew...
