...outward appearances, the surviving characters are alone. Vague, pixilated Jack (Ben Wright) no longer has his nudging mother (Barbara Bryne). Tough and fearless Ridinghood (Danielle Ferland) no longer has either her granny or her sexually seductive wolf (Robert Westenberg, who doubles brilliantly as the prince to Kim Crosby's klutzy, endearingly otherworldly Cinderella). The sweet little baker (Chip Zien) has lost his wife (Joanna Gleason, in the most beguiling performance of a superb cast). Even the witch (Bernadette Peters) has stormed off in rage at the collective dithering. But in the aftermath of havoc, households re-form, and life, better...
...South Korea's military-backed government, last week was both the best and the worst of times.

In an eleventh-hour appeal, Kim Young Sam then sent an aide to urge the more volatile Kim Dae Jung to remain inside the party. When that plea also failed, Kim Young Sam declared that he viewed the elder Kim's defection with "extreme regret." Taking 27 of the party's 70 National Assembly members...
Many Reunification Democrats were angered by the party's failure to choose one candidate, especially since the two Kims see almost eye-to-eye on the issues. That will make the election a four-way contest with Roh, who is campaigning as a champion of democracy but is opposed by student activists, and former Prime Minister Kim Jong Pil, a conservative long shot.
