...result is that journalists may be able to go back to the practice of not reporting such matters, on the legitimate ground that people really don't seem to care. For better or worse, it seems to be the journalists who are making way too much of a Victorian fuss about the President's alleged misbehavior and the rest of the citizenry who are taking it all in stride and keeping it in perspective...
...novel--adapted by Terrence McNally, directed by Frank Galati, with songs by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty--has already had successful runs in Toronto and Los Angeles (and was named by TIME as best theater event of 1997). Finally, Broadway audiences can see the object of all the fuss--a brilliant work of musical storytelling, social comment and canny staging that marks a glorious culmination for the American musical at the end of its first century...

Finally, they shrink to dim, glowing embers. A quiet ending--or so everyone thought before the Hubble Space Telescope came along. New images released last week show that the process is more complex and violent than anyone believed. Supersonic jets of particles and dense clots of dust warp the glowing gas into...
