Composer Daniel Levine, who has never written a musical before, has yet to develop a distinctive sound: there are stylistic echoes of everything from Blossom Time to Sondheim, although the wistfulness is genuine enough in the title character's Act I showstopper, I'm Lost. Levine's writing partner, Peter Kellogg, also a beginner, deftly focuses the story on Anna's forced choice between romantic love for Vronsky and maternal love for her child by her husband Karenin. But Kellogg nearly wrecks the enterprise with lyrics so blandly generic that they convey hardly any specifics of character -- especially frustrating when...
...transcript of an alleged telephone conversation between Diana, Princess of Wales, and a male friend on New Year's Eve 1989. He calls her "Squidgy" and repeats, "I love you, I love you." She mentions the "torture" of her marriage and agrees to a meeting with her phone partner "next Tuesday," under guise of a visit to her acupuncturist. True?

Abe Lincoln, the patriarch of their party, did not, according to his law partner of 22 years, believe in a personal God, and refused to join a church, stating "When you show me a church based on the Golden Rule as its only creed, then I will unite with it." Ulysses S. Grant, another Republican, exhorted his countrymen to "Keep the church and state forever separate" and strongly opposed the use of any public money to support parochial schools -- as proposed in the 1992 Republican platform...
China and South Korea announced that they will open formal diplomatic relations this week. Though South Korea remains a close U.S. ally, Seoul is also an increasingly important trading partner for Beijing. The rapprochement is likely to put more pressure on communist North Korea to reach peaceful agreements with Seoul. South Korean President Roh Tae Woo is expected to visit Beijing in October...
