These days Britain's Prince of Wales is still considered a tad eccentric: after all, who in his right mind would have lost the love of the fairy-tale Princess Diana? But increasingly, Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor (who is not only Prince of Wales but also, inter alia, Duke of Cornwall, Lord of the Isles and Great Steward of Scotland) is winning applause for his not-so-crazy campaign to combat what he calls "the wanton destruction that has taken place...in the name of progress." For 30 years the Prince has been in the forefront of efforts...
Illustrations of Judith, the warrior princess, serve to emphasize by contrast Mary's role as a mother figure and source of strength to those in need. "Judith and Holofernes," a mid-16th-century oil painting, shows Judith holding the severed head of Holofernes, the general whose army she has just defeated. A marble statue of Eve, created by Auguste Rodin in 1899, shows Eve with arms wrapped around her body and head bent down in shame. Contrast this image of a woman whose weakness instigated the fall of mankind with Mary's role as a redeemer through the birth...

...sure, this is unmistakably a Disney product, mounted and mass-audience-tested like a theme-park ride. The opera's tragic story--about an Egyptian captain, Radames, and his forbidden love for the slave princess Aida--has been put through the studio's familiar food processor. Each of the main characters clashes with an authoritarian father; Aida is a feisty, headstrong heroine in the line of Mulan and Pocahontas; the bad guys dress in fascistic black trench coats. (And while the Nubian slaves are mostly African Americans, the Egyptians seem to have acquired a blond gene.) Those Disney magicians have...
