...violations a "grave situation," Foreign Minister Roelof ("Pik") Botha warned that the Namibian peace process "could collapse within hours." Pretoria applied pressure on UNTAG's Finnish commander, Martti Ahtisaari, to reactivate some South African military forces and ordered others back to service on its own. Backed by Western public opinion for once, South Africa continued to threaten an end to the treaty. Declared Foreign Minister Botha: "SWAPO must surrender, lay down their arms, hoist a white flag...
...conceived as a public relations gambit on behalf of a little-known Kentucky troupe and a for-profit health-care corporation. Blessed in its early years with remarkable taste, or maybe beginner's luck, the Humana Festival at Actors Theater of Louisville soon developed into a hallmark of the regional- theater movement and one of the nation's prime showcases for new plays. Half a dozen transferred to Broadway or the movies. Two, The Gin Game and Crimes of the Heart, won Pulitzer Prizes. Then the festival fell on hard times. Of 37 works introduced from...

"No room for grudges in this business," Bush told one meeting of young staff members...
...beverage, of course, is wine, which is the subject of a convivial yet scholarly 13-part series that appears on public television this month. In lesser hands, such a project could have been a mind-numbing compendium of trivia about Brix levels and Appellations Controlees. As written and narrated by Hugh Johnson, Vintage: A History of Wine is an excursion into cultural history, enlivened by the author's pithy insights on ritual, commerce and warfare...
