...like a machine but sustains itself like a family. Members typically commit themselves to a season each in Stratford and in London, with out side work negotiable. The pay is short (from $208 to $960 a week), and the training is rigorous. Besides daily rehearsals, actors may log time in movement, fencing and dance classes, as well as brush up on voice and language with the R.S.C.'s crack vocal coach, Cicely Berry. "You've got to make Shakespeare sound so new-minted you could almost hear it in the street," says Judi Dench. Sinead Cusack...
...with relish another battle with the crusty lady this year. Instead the Republican faced-and defeated-Seattle State Senator James McDermott, 43, who had trounced Ray in the Democratic primary. The two men clashed on nearly every issue: McDermott opposed an oil pipeline under Puget Sound and favored restricting log exports so that the wood could be processed within the state, thereby creating additional jobs; Spellman backed the pipeline and supported the exports. McDermott, a psychiatrist by profession, admitted that projected budget deficits over the next two years (up to $1 billion) might trigger higher taxes, while Spellman pledged...
...logbook of their 41-ft. sloop Kalia III, Patti Kamerer, 46, recorded "Anchor up!" on April 28 as she and her husband William, 55, left Fort Myers for a six-month "dream cruise" of the Bahamas.

The yacht was riddled with shotgun pellets, smeared with blood...
This larkish, disarming tone remains at odds with the object itself. Harrison reveals that he got the notion of collecting his jottings and memories when "two drunkards cornered me in a hotel room near Heathrow Airport" and pressed on him a copy of Captain William Bligh's Log of H. M.S. Bounty, put out by a firm in Surrey called Genesis. This, and a televi sion program on the making of fine books, gave George the idea of "having these trivial bits of paper dignified in this...
...later. Proud and aggressive, they formed a fierce nomadic warrior culture, herding sheep and patrolling the desert on horses first introduced by Spanish explorers. Then, as now, the Navajos had little use for village life. Each family ranged over miles of grazing land, adding easily built mud and cedar-log hogans as new generations arrived, and moving the sheep when grazing areas played out. If they used the land differently from the Hopis, they attached equal mystical significance to it, dotting the hilltops with shrines attesting to its power to provide...
