With its cast of fairies, including a queen and banished fairy with a half-mortal son. Iolanthe becomes a humorous saltine of the English peerage system, as the fairies encounter a group of snobbish nobles, both liberal and conservative. Iolanthe may be dated, but the G&S production never gets bogged down by its situations, and it reveals the timeless hilarity of such stock characters as fairies and nobles who gradually unravel the stereotypes that bias their views of each other...
Among the beauties Wilder befriended in Miami were Elizabeth Kenyon, a 23-year-old former beauty queen, and Rosario Gonzalez, a 20-year-old model. Gonzalez, in fact, was watching while he raced in the Grand Prix. When the two women disappeared last February and March, police began seeking Wilder for questioning. But he was nowhere to be found. In the middle of last month, authorities began to piece together information about half a dozen rapes, tortures and murders of attractive young women in Florida, Texas, Colorado and Nevada. Last week the FBI fingered Wilder as a suspect in these...
Smiling happily, King Hussein, 48, hailed the moment as one that "will be recorded in the history of Jordan." But the first visit of Queen Elizabeth, 57, to the Hashemite kingdom had very nearly been canceled by an explosion 200 yards from the British embassy in Amman two days before her departure.

Indeed, after arriving at Amman in her jet, which was equipped with antimissile devices, the Queen and Prince Philip, 62, were whisked around with such speed and caution that...
During a dinner given by the Queen in Windsor Castle on June 8, Bill Clark passed me a note informing me that a resolution had been introduced in the U.N. condemning Israel for its invasion and threatening sanctions, and suggesting that the U.S. might vote in favor of the resolution. This would have been an unprecedented step for the U.S. and also entirely out of character for the President. I asked Clark who had made the decision. "The President of the United States, Al; we've got the decision, and there is no more discussion...
Compelling facts do not always cohere into riveting drama. But Mann, author of the social documentary play Still Life, has shaped the trial transcript and other relevant comments into antiphonal form: the lament of a hard-nosed cop will be answered by a raucous drag queen; the surreal anguish of Dan White (incarnated with creepy brilliance by John Spencer) will be followed by some wildly comic testimony that might have come from Carol Burnett's blooper barrel. Execution of Justice, directed by Oskar Eustis and Anthony Taccone, is a major work that seems to stand outside the perimeters...
