...just have to say one other thing." China is on the right side of history on many things, he said, but on this the Chinese government "is on the wrong side of history." Clinton had used the same words in private the night before, and they were a searing judgment on Jiang, a Marxist who feels he is following the scientific laws of history. "There is, after all," Clinton said, "a Universal Declaration of Human Rights." Jiang was unmoved. He replied to a question about imprisoned dissidents by snapping, "I am the President of the People's Republic of China...
...well with Edith (not Emily) Bishop's shrewish portrayal of Lady Macbeth. Her performance was, as Mandel points out, exquisite, but she deserved far more praise than Mandel gave her. To eliminate Colapinto from Mandel's list of quality elements of the show, to attack his work as "poor judgment or sheer incompetence," and to downplay Bishop's excellence, is wrong.

But Vasili Tsibliyev, after surviving the premature judgment of Boris Yeltsin (who blamed Mir's woes on "the human factor"), has hit the ground fighting. "They can convict me," he says, "but what'll they do when the next crisis comes?" Though the new crew on Mir has been beset by their own troubles, Tsibliyev won't gloat. "If the crew weren't prepared, they...
Princess Diana lost her life in a road accident caused by very familiar villains: speed, alcohol and bad judgment. But how about the media's invasion of privacy? What is really needed is a thorough and impartial investigation of the press. But what outside agency exists that could undertake such a job and report the results? The circumstances surrounding Diana's death emphasize the demoralizing influence exerted by the modern media. ROBERT J. WIDENMANN Bronshoj, Denmark
