Being a woman in what are still male-dominated G.O.P. political circles, Matalin has suffered far more for the relationship than Carville has. Last year several top Republicans pressed Bush to dismiss her lest pillow talk undo his re-election. But the President stuck by Matalin and gave her a big hug after last week's tempest passed...

They plan to insist that Americans serve on future inspection teams, to spotlight every Iraqi evasion of U.N. resolutions, and to boost aid to Kurds and exiled opponents of Saddam.

Although the moral issues involved might seem straightforward, Arthur Miller made them rich and intriguingly complex in THE PRICE, his 1968 tale of two brothers dividing the petty sticks of furniture that constitute their father's estate. The play returned to Broadway last week in an impeccable staging, with film veteran Hector Elizondo (Pretty Woman) giving the performance of his career as the resentful, duty- bound...
