GREATEST REGENERATION "Massively multiplayer" games--played online with hundreds or thousands of real people--were the rage at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles last week. Few were as ambitious as World War II Online: Blitzkrieg from Playnet. Starting this fall, you can pay $9.99 a month to re-enact the great battles and try to claw your way up the ranks to Supreme Commander...
There's still plenty of weird stuff going on with R.E.M. Buck is facing charges in London over an April 21 "air rage" incident in which he allegedly got drunk and assaulted crew members on a British Airways flight.

He was besotted with Bishop but didn't trust her. He started sleeping just a few hours a night. His grades fell from...
...Broadway, French dramatists were all the rage: the plays of Jean Giraudoux and Samuel Beckett had good runs, as did the musicals "La Plume de ma tante" and "Irma la douce"; the young Hepburn entranced New York audiences as Colette's Gigi and Jean Anouilh's Ondine. Novels from Germany, Italy, Japan - pretty much any nation the Allies had conquered - were must reading for the intelligentsia. Jean-Paul Sartre was so famous he was parodied in Hepburn's Paris frolic "Funny Face...
