...Springer Show is very operatic," says Thomas. "You have lots of people screaming at each other, and you can't understand what they're saying. And just like in opera, the stories are very extreme." In the opera, Springer (Michael Brandon) must deal with diaper fetishists, tap-dancing Ku Klux Klan members and finally even the devil himself. Reviewers have gushed, the show's run has been extended into August, and producers are already sniffing around, looking to move it to the West End--maybe even to Broadway. The real Springer's reaction? "I only wish I'd thought...

...Swain says, she "turned from a Pollyanna into a Cassandra" as her research into a book criticizing racial preferences made her aware of the spread of what she calls "the new white nationalism," a form of racial extremism more dangerous than the Ku Klux Klan because of its veneer of erudition and mastery of the Internet. Groups such as former Klansman David Duke's National Organization for European American Rights and the National Association of White People eschew the discredited notion of white supremacy. Indeed, they don't claim that whites are superior to anyone else and may even...
