Three years ago, Libya's ascetic, rabidly anti-Western President Muammar Gaddafi flew into a rage about a mild satire of himself printed by the Turin daily La Stampa. He threatened to have Fiat, the Italian megacompany that owns La Stampa, put on the Arab boycott list unless it fired the paper's Jewish editor, Arrigo Levi. Fiat Chairman Giovanni Agnelli stood by Levi, and the matter was forgotten. Time and oil money, however, can change the political-economic balance of power, and last week Levi had a new story to print. Agnelli announced that he is taking...
...holds the opposite view: "Any good comedian can lead an audience by the nose. But only in the direction they're going. And that direction is, quite simply, escape." The two who follow Challenor's advice win. The boy (Jonathan Pryce) who goes into a brilliantly pantomimed rage against two effigies of the upper middle class loses. What he epitomizes is about as funny as death, but Pryce's caustic honesty and formidable skill in playing the role mark a Broadway debut that is electric with life...

Says Chicago Police Officer Ronald Green: "Some people just don't seem to realize that we are just as equal as they are-that we have rights too." Green's rage has a specific source: he was accused of taking a bribe by a motorist he had stopped. Green has become something of a folk hero among cops because, imitating the militancy of civil rights groups, he sued the motorist for slander and won a $1,000 settlement...
...years of martial training, raising a peasant army of millions and deposing a cruel emperor. The role does not fit her new reality: "To avenge my family, I'd have to storm across China to take back our farm from the Communists; I'd have to rage across the United States and take back the laundry in New York and the one in California." There are other reasons why the old customs cannot be embraced. She will not endure the subjugation of women they require: "When one of my parents or the emigrant villagers said, 'Feeding girls...
