When the 16-year stalemate between daytime queen OPRAH WINFREY and late-night jester DAVID LETTERMAN ended last week, somehow anything seemed possible. In 2003 Winfrey told TIME she felt "uncomfortable" on the Late Show and vowed she would never return.

...thought Winfrey might have come on Letterman to plug the musical (one number from which Dave had showcased two weeks ago). Instead, she barely alluded to it. This was strange, since her tub-thumping on her own program a while back generated a $2-million box office blitz the next day. Maybe she thinks she's done her bit for now, in bringing the word of this all-black-cast show to potential Broadway visitors, especially the African-American middle class that hasn't always had reason to spend a couple hundred dollars on an evening's entertainment...
