...kitchen in Little Rock where most of their entertaining was done. It is where overnight guests gather for breakfast. Arkansas-born actress Mary Steenburgen, who spent the night in the Lincoln Bedroom on her birthday, is the only guest so far to jump into the outdoor pool. When Norman Lear came for dinner, the President wore sneakers and dinner was chicken enchiladas. One night when Arkansas Senator David Pryor was over, he insisted the President go to bed, only to have Clinton try to drag him downstairs to see Steve Martin's Leap of Faith. The Clintons went out with...
...gays with perhaps their sturdiest armor against the gay holocaust. And it is this strength Jeffrey so smartly taps. Most plays about AIDS, including this year's Pulitzer prizewinner Angels in America, send the disease's victims raging or nobly wasting away into the bleak night. They can play Lear or Camille, but they don't get to do Bette Davis. Rudnick believes that "adding to the gloom doesn't help anyone. In fact, you should be constantly striving for the reverse.

...WHERE I AM, WITH MY KNICKERS at my knees . . .," begins a typical Anita Roddick anecdote, this one delivered, incongruously, to the editors of a dozen glossy women's magazines. The best of America's beauty press -- including editors from Vogue, Lear's and Mirabella -- have gathered at a swank Manhattan eatery to get a close look at the founder of the Body Shop, Roddick's fast- growing chain of cosmetics stores. She is telling them how she learned to make oud, the molasses-thick perfume worn by Bedouin women for its aphrodisiac properties. "We'll show you how to make...
...seems the perfect way to combine all the other arts, visual and audio. I don't know if it has to do with investigating characters. There is a great deal of stock that is set on historical characters. I mean, everyone will turn out to audition for Romeo, King Lear, Iago...it's a good ego boost but it's also tremendous...
