...THERE A MIND BEHIND STEVE FORBES' MADDENINGLY robotic ability to stay "on message"? Does he think deeply about anything besides tax policy? Well, Forbes said recently, "I'd put my foreign policy knowledge up against any other candidate." That wasn't as foolish as Gary Hart's daring reporters to prove his infidelity, but there it was anyway: the Forbes Challenge...
...every presidential campaign, there comes a moment when the Establishment wakes up one morning, blinks hard and realizes that someone it had barely noticed before is emerging. It happened with the Republicans and Ronald Reagan in 1976, and then with the Democrats and Gary Hart in 1984. Last week it was the Republicans' turn again, as party elders arrived at work all over the country Thursday morning, scanned the papers and nearly spilled their coffee trying to fathom the idea that a man they'd scarcely heard of six months ago might just turn out to be their standard bearer...
...what have her many political predecessors done when their own suspicion rapidly flowed into guilt? They resigned. Political officials who have found themselves in a quagmire similar to that of Mrs. Clinton got out of office. Gary Hart, Zoe Baird, Lani Guinier--a diverse handful of politicians who withdrew from the spotlight in which they were being stripped of their political integrity.

For the politicians who came before Mrs. Clinton, exit was the most common...
...Alley Cats" is quite possibly theater at its worst. Robinson seems to have lost all the restraint, subtlety of message and clarity of vision which makes "Live Bird" a satisfying drama. The cast of "Alley Cats" is unspeakably poor, except for Robinson himself and drummer Dwight Hart. The whole mess is like a childish scribble obscuring the quality of Robinson's music. One can only hope that Robinson either returns to the more focused, steady approach of "Live Bird" or abandons drama altogether in favor of his music. If "Alley Cats" is any indication, Robinson's career may mimic that...
Overall, the acting of the women was excellent. Deborah Brightman as Winnie, the matronly know-it-all, was superb. Teresa Hegji was excellent as the bitchy, uncontrollable Nance. Pamela Hart played Charlotte, a sexy professional pick-pocket, with aplomb. Jada Robert's Pitty, on the other hand, was a little too crazy, even though her character was insane. Of the men (all of whom are extremely good-looking), only Jay Boyer, who played the 16 year-old deck hand Tommy, stood out. His transformation from a shy innocent to a more mature, jaded sailor was convincing. Steve Harper's Sarge...
