...anticipation of a nail-bitingly close election, students at Harvard and around the nation are turning to the internet for an instant glut of political news, facts and commentary...
...might find it far more difficult to stay united on bread-and-butter economic issues than on civil rights for homosexuals. The governing Social Democrats in Berlin, for example, are currently pushing through reforms that look a lot like the ones the opposition French Socialists are fighting tooth and nail in Paris.

Even Landesman acknowledges the enormous energy and patience needed to nail the role. "Casting Max," he says, "is a constant problem." Bringing The Producers to London also raises the question of whether hit musicals can survive the trip across the Atlantic. "Since Cats and Phantom of the Opera, everyone expects a successful musical to replicate itself around the world," says Meehan. "But those...
