...plans for the 1000-year Reich. As a civic entity and as individuals, they had to make choices--between collaboration and resistance, between survival and honor. These choices, along with the grander cultural confrontation between German and Frenchman, are the subjects of Paris in the Third Reich, by David Pryce-Jones. The book combines a selective narrative history of the years 1940-1944, a section of interviews with characters who saw the occupation from widely differing perspectives, and a collection of photographs of everyday life in that period...
...fare better. As Enobarbus, Patrick Stewart conjures up the Queen's burnished barge, and her beauty that age cannot wither, in the tone of a man who is as besotted with Cleopatra as Antony himself. Jonathan Pryce's Octavius Caesar is fascinating for its subtlety: he is a youthful ruler of sensitive and cunning intelligence.

Simple pleasures are the best, after all, aren't they?" She noted that "John McHugh and Trumbull Barton, whose Staten Island party for Margot and Rudy last spring made history, have gone off to Venice to visit an 87-year-old girl chum. They swear she's still fascinating. Maybe...
Bush's switch stunned the Medical Research Council, which complained that after financing his work for years, "the benefit will be felt in the U.S." When such eminent scientists as the University of Bristol's Maurice Pryce, chief of the theoretical physics division at the government atomic energy center at Harwell, and Anthony Pople, head of the basic physics research at the Teddington National Laboratory, also said they were leaving for the U.S., the exodus touched off a political uproar...
