Industry-bible Variety magazine declared: "London stages a big comeback - a moribund theater climate has turned itself around." Stewart, best known as an X-Man and sometime Star Trekker, was last seen in the West End 17 years ago, but his performance in The Master Builder, Ibsen's claustrophobic study of obsession and paranoia, has won adulatory reviews.

...conventional artillery capability would allow North Korea to flatten Seoul in the first half-hour of any confrontation. The human cost of going to war may too prohibitive in this instance. Instead, the hawks want to isolate North Korea and force its collapse through sanctions. So moribund and dependent is the North Korean economy that sanctions would indeed spark social collapse, which is why Pyongyang has warned it will treat any embargo as a declaration of war. That may be just fine with Washington hawks, but there's no support in the region for sanctions, which makes them...
