...Crimson Wisdom (Nov. 6): you gave Hillary Rodham Clinton a "down arrow" because the candidates she stumped for in Illinois and Massachusetts failed to win their elections. But you failed to mention that it was perhaps due to her efforts that Chuck Schumer in New York managed to knock off Senator Pothole, AI D'Amato and Barbara Boxer was re-elected in California. And what about all the House candidates she campaigned for? Do you even have an inkling as to how they performed in the election? Given the outcome of the election, it's safe to assume that they...
...word. Yeltsin's advancemen sketched out Primakov's arrival and departure; Yeltsin's chief of protocol arranged the state visits; and Yeltsin's personal interpreter did the German-to-Russian translating. The only things missing, a Moscow newspaper wagged, were Mrs. Yeltsin and a battery of doctors. Not to mention the gaffes, stumbles and truncated schedules.

If this review has given little mention to the acting, it is because the acting is overshadowed by a radicalizing interpretation. Though Egan's well-spoken plottings, Queen Ann's lamentations and Queen Margret's prophecy would occasionally break through, it does not do so often enough...
WASHINGTON: The anti-Newt rumbling on the Hill is getting louder. Two days after the election in which they ended up down by five seats, House Republicans have found a scapegoat in Speaker Gingrich - not to mention most of their leadership. While the situation is extremely fluid, one proposed slate of candidates is slowly gaining currency: Bob Livingston for Speaker, replacing Newt; Steve Largent for majority leader, ousting Dick Armey; and Jennifer Dunn for conference chair, knocking John Boehner aside. Tom DeLay, the party whip, would keep his job. Livingston, currently the Appropriations committee chair, is hardly anyone's idea...
