During his 20 years in the House of Commons he had revived Britain's once great Liberal Party as a potent force in British politics. As a product of Eton and Oxford, and the husband of the former Countess of Harewood, he was an important member of that peculiarly British Institution, The Establishment, an exclusive "old boy" network that is still one of the keys to power and influence in Great Britain...
...held up to a starry sky in emulation of Kunta Kinte's original African ritual. The sto ry's backbone and much of its meaning can be found in the loving relationships of Haley's grandparents (Stan Shaw and Bever-Leigh Banfield) and parents (Do rian Harewood and Irene Cara).

But what about Playwright Rabe and his obsession with the same terrain and subject? It is worth noting that none of his "war" plays take place in the combat zone. Pavlo Hummel probed the rigors of boot camp, Sticks and Bones exposed the unhealing scar tissue of a returned Viet Nam veteran, and now Streamers exhausts itself in an intermediate no man's land where...
