...detractors. "Cats are more photogenic than dogs," says Photographer Neil Leifer, who took the cover photo and five other pictures for the story, "but I'm much more a dog person." Leifer owns two dogs, a Hungarian sheep dog and a golden retriever, and has no plans to inflict a cat on them. Rosemarie Tauris, one of the story's reporter-researchers, has no pets at present, but once was the happy owner of an alley cat named Fritz. She confesses to "a love for the cuddliness, the softness of cats." Reporter-Researcher Georgia Harbison, who contributed much...

The time on the screen that displays the deceptively easy effects of two actors, two half-centuries committed to getting it right in the theater and the movies. It is about this time?now?...
Parody is Christopher Durang's native element. He can mimic and spoof manners, trends and styles of speaking in ways that inflict the sting of truth just as surely as those of a good caricaturist. But Durang tends to end his plays unconvincingly, in a spasm of violence, as if he had been brooding on deeper things all along-like, say, man's fate. It is as if the playwright as jester suddenly dropped his mask and wished to be acknowledged as a thinker. These two one-acters at Manhattan's Playwrights Horizons Theater display both Durang...
