...interesting interpretation,” Vartikar says. “The tragedy of Hamlet is not delay. Our interpretation is that Hamlet is crushed to the ground by his inexorable fate, by the weight of the world, the weight of his scenario.

Robert MacNeil, who co-anchors the show from New York City, announced last week that he will retire in October 1995, the show's 20th anniversary, leaving Washington-based Jim Lehrer as the sole anchor. MacNeil characterized his decision as "convenient," which was typical...
