...what of those British who weren't in Hamlet? Nunn corralled most of them--Ben Kingsley, Helena Bonham Carter, Nigel Hawthorne--for his Twelfth Night. A comedy of Eros about loving twins separated in a shipwreck and embroiled in a game of mistaken sexual identity, the piece now begins as an upmarket Blue Lagoon, veers into elaborate farce, then darkens till it seems a lost work of Chekhov's. It's a handsome artifact, though, on its $5 million budget, and gives star treatment to Imogen Stubbs, who is Nunn's wife. "It's a welcome break from the American...
When dinosaurs ruled the earth, Quetzalcoatlus and its cousins dominated the skies. Yet ever since their fossils were first discovered in the 1700s and mistaken for strange marine creatures or bats, pterosaurs--literally, winged lizards--have remained a perplexing enigma. Did these extraordinary beasts take off by running on the ground or by dropping from a tree? Did they energetically flap their wings or deploy them as passive sails?

Last week's tears and bloodshed which marked yet another episode in the tragic epic of the Holy Land caused many to reflect on what went wrong with the peace process when, according to the media at least, things appeared to be on track. The answer lies in the mistaken premises upon which the "peace process" was founded and in the confused direction in which it has long been headed. Associated Press photographs of armed Palestinians firing automatic weapons upon the Israelis who armed them have reawakened long-held doubts about the Labor government's policies. The fact that Israel...
