...Zhang, 36, has little time for such expressions of grief. As a Communist Party cadre from Beichuan, he was working in a village in nearby Xuanping prefecture when the tremors hit. The hamlet's 2,000 survivors were cut off from the outside world. For days there was no news from Beichuan. Finally, Zhang learned that his hometown had been flattened.

But as giddy, shrewd Democrats sing...

Herlie joined the soap opera in 1976 after a successful run on Broadway, where she appeared in shows like Take Me Along--based on Eugene O'Neill's play Ah, Wilderness!--and the Richard Burton production of Hamlet.
