Gennifer Flowers is sucking so hard on the straw in her bottle of spring water that it's turned orange with thick, sticky lipstick. She's sitting behind a table stacked high with her book, Passion & Betrayal, along with a shiny new pen, perfect nails, heavy-duty makeup -- and almost no takers among the lunchtime crowd jamming the Market Place East mall in downtown Philadelphia last Monday. For the half a dozen or so people who buy the book, she signs "Best Wishes," with her initial in the shape of a treble clef on a sheet of music. Frustrated...
...have this piece be the spring show in every high school in America." It will need some reworking first-not just character reassessment, but pruning in the overlong first act and fleshing out of the second. Even then, with a female trio delivering such lines as "The pen on the pillow of sperm/ The penis stretched out for Venus," it's doubtful that Ceiling/Sky will replace Brigadoon anytime soon...

Most important, he must address unemployment. It is a stubborn problem: France has recovered from the global...
During the campaign, Chirac accurately described a "social fracture" in French society. Whether his contradictory program will actually lower unemployment is an open question, but Chirac himself may offer something that will help heal that fracture. Unlike the monarchical Mitterrand or the dry Jospin or the hatemongering Le Pen, he has empathy, gregariousness, heart. One thing the alienated French may require from their politicians right now is "contact"; Chirac is the one to provide it. --With reporting by Bruce Crumley/Paris
