Eager to impress on Missouri voters that a vote for a dead man - Missouri governor Mel Carnahan, who was killed last week in a plane crash - is not a wasted one, interim governor Roger Wilson will ask Carnahan's widow, Jean Carnahan, to stand as her late husband's replacement for a two-year Senate term. If he wins...

Attorney General Jay Nixon and former Senator Thomas Eagleton probably can't beat Ashcroft. The only Democrat with a shot at doing that would be Carnahan's widow, Jean.

Questions of duty, law and destiny encompass the heart of Antigone. In the Jean Anouilh version of this classic Greek tragedy, French angst envelops the tale of Antigone's challenge to Creon, her uncle and the king's conception of law. Two visions of how life should be lived are presented but only one can survive, with Creon unable to bend his laws and Antigone unwilling to compromise her sense of virtue. Any performance of classical Greek tragedy is a difficult endeavor and the Anouilh version of the play adds yet another layer of complication. Yet the production staff...
