Amid all the cheers, a few small doubts have been raised. "It's hard not to see in Lincoln Center's bicentennial gourmandizing a musical Trump Tower," Berkeley musicologist Richard Taruskin complained in the New York Times. The Economist was concerned that "the world will be in grave danger of suffering from surfeit." "Mozart will be everywhere," sighed the French weekly L'Express, "on posters, the radio, the front page . . . not to mention Viennese confections and chocolate Mozarts. Mozart wrote, 'I would like to have all that is good, true and beautiful.' Well, so he will and, alas, all that...
...that has changed. Crimes nationwide rose 32% in 1989 and an additional 13% last year; the sharpest jump was in grave crimes like murder, aggravated assault and rape, which increased 44% in January. Freed by glasnost to report such unpleasant facts, Soviet television and newspapers have turned graphic tales of violence into standard fare. The result has been to fuel public fears that chaos is impending. "Before, people didn't know how much crime we had in this country," says Lieut.

Even though Congress has now spoken, Saddam Hussein, no great student of the democratic process, may still conclude -- particularly from the relative closeness of the Senate vote -- that the U.S. is hopelessly divided and lacks the resolve to go to war. That would be a grave mistake. Armed with the U.N. resolution, congressional approval and his own strong conviction that Baghdad's aggression cannot go unanswered, Bush will almost surely unleash his forces soon if Iraq does not withdraw. But unless that conflict is short and successful, with relatively low casualties, the divisions in Congress and in U.S. public opinion...
Nowhere is the challenge more grave than in New York City, which accounts for just 3% of the nation's 13- to 21-year-olds, but harbors 20% of all reported AIDS cases in that age group. It was the sheer size of the problem that prompted Fernandez to suggest the free-condom idea as part of an expanded AIDS-education program for the city's 261,000 high school students. Under the plan, staff volunteers at each school would hand out condoms, along with a booklet explaining their use, to every student who wants them. Sex counseling would...
