Ever since the September peace accord was signed on the White House lawn, radical settlers, especially from the Kahane movement, have been loudly announcing their determination to take matters into their own hands to stop the delivery of land they consider their biblical birthright into the hands of the Palestinians. Settlers in Hebron have been caught on videotape firing repeatedly on Palestinian stone throwers. Jewish militants have stopped Palestinians on the roads and harassed them. The Israeli army for the most part has stood by, doing nothing to subdue them...
...sultry, though less exciting partner Patrick Armand in his role of Prince Sigfried. The pure lines of their pas de deux and the chemistry between Ponomarenko and Armand was complemented well by the spectacle of the events which surrounded their plot. The ensemble scenes of merrymaking on the castle lawn in Act I and in the castle ballroom in Act III sustain an interest independent of the central pair; they prove that both the quality and spirit of the dance extend to the whole cast.

...five months of tawdry wrangling in what now seems like the all-tabloid media. Maids and chauffeurs, lissome lads and their parents fed their accusations of misconduct or declarations of support to the avid press.

Clinton aides talk about this invention in much the same way pediatricians talk about behavior incentives for three-year-olds. "It's like a reward at the end of the day," said an official, "for all the disciplined time he's put in. He feels very trapped here, and so you have to find ways to allow...
...with stained glass windows and elegant furniture. Drawing in Wilde's own taste for Asiatic art, Morgan has decorated the room with Asian screens and blue china bric-a-brac. The overall affect is stunning. The second act set is even better, a gorgeous country garden complete with white lawn furniture and overhanging trees. A profusion of flowers cover the black iron gates and the interior of the third set can be glimpsed through one door. If the third set, a dark oak library with men in armor and a glass domed roof, seems slightly less inventive, it is possibly...
