...danger to pass. At 3 a.m. the earth rolled again, at first gently, then with a sickening sway. Before their eyes, Salaparuta crumbled apart like a child's sand castle. Within 30 seconds, the nine-century-old vineyard town was little more than dust. Left standing over the moonlit rubble was a solitary sentinel, a church tower, whose bell was jolted by the earth's angry vibrations into a final eerie death knell...
...result, while not executed as well as it might be, is still consistently engrossing. I don't think anyone can rightly accuse Kahn of violently distorting the play. His approach is perfectly workable -- up to a point. That point is the final scene, with its moonlit love-making; although it takes place at night, not all the king's horses and all the king's men could turn this scene into something "dark" or "black...
Argentina has no national literature, but it has produced a literary mind that is as mysterious and elusive as the fretted shadows on the moonlit grass.

...fire that swept the 16-year-old Norwegian vessel resembled that aboard the Yarmouth Castle, the Panamanian-registered cruise ship on which 90 people-mostly passengers-died last November. In both cases the vessels were plying well-traveled Caribbean channels and carrying about 500 passengers and crewmen beneath idyllic, moonlit skies. As foreign ships, neither conformed fully to American safety standards. Each of the fires occurred in the early-morning hours, when only a few revelers lingered on deck...
