...drugs into a good friend's sandwich, hoping to initiate him without his consent into the wonders of hallucinogenic insights. What happens instead is that the friend and victim, temporarily left alone by Edward, walks out of a window and falls to his death. Once the authorities and newspapers finish raking over the details of this tragic accident, "Edward passed out of the public eye into his private hell...
...Canada, which is making its first U.S. tour in 13 years, with a repertory of Twelfth Night and King Lear. The shows have played to nearly sold-out houses in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago and Palm Beach, Fla.; are running in Fort Lauderdale for most of January; and will finish in Washington on Feb. 2. Founded in 1953 by Tyrone Guthrie, the Stratford company prides itself on echoing the style of Britain's Old Vic of the 1940s, which in turn derived from an earlier era.

Even with the windows closed, the dirt piles up on the dashboard and gathers in the folds of clothes and collects on the tongue. Coming as it does right out of the blue, a windstorm of such muscle is enough to give...
...course, his piano. The $40,000 concert grand, plucked by crane from the living room of his Manhattan townhouse, had its 12,000 parts cleaned and examined with a degree of care worthy of Air Force One. Its mahogany case was given coat after coat of high-gloss finish and hand-rubbed with fine steel wool, a laborious task that took 18 hours. It was then packed in space-age material resistant to heat and weather, loaded aboard a 747 early in April and shipped as a diplomatic pouch to Moscow. In the week before the concert, it was tuned...
