Since 1939, when Judy Garland first introduced millions of Americans to the wonders of Technicolor, The Wizard of Oz has been an important part of American culture. Uproot the entire story, drop it into the African-American world of the 1970's, and Frank Baum's classic childrens' story becomes "The Wiz," a hip melange of pop culture and fairy tales. This spring's performance shows off a number of excellent and excited performers, but in many ways fails to pull off this complicated and challenging musical...

Since then Walters has interviewed nearly every President and First Lady--she still hasn't sat down with the Clintons--world leaders from Yasser Arafat to Jiang Zemin, celebrity icons (Astaire, Garland, Carson) and cons (Mr. T, Suzanne Somers) and, by her own count, seven alleged murderers. This woman, who was caricatured in her Sarah Lawrence yearbook as an ostrich with its head in the sand, has stuck her nose into the conflict in the Middle East, the Iran-contra scandal...
