...network's woes have been exacerbated by falling ratings. In prime time, CBS finished a weak No. 2 last season after six years in first place, and prospects for the coming season appear no brighter. The CBS Evening News, long the undisputed king of its realm, is now embroiled in a fierce three-way battle. And the travails of the CBS Morning News have become a corporate embarrassment.

...Kremer's laid- back version of melancholy Jaques. By contrast, James Edmondson's staging of Measure is an exquisite balance of tonally varied scenes in court, monastery, convent and red-light district. Woronicz makes psychological sense of the duke who retreats into disguise rather than crack down on his realm's licentiousness.

The reassertion of traditional moral values, they...

...soaring rhetoric, though stirring, seems to float above the realm of the practical. "We believe in only the government we need," Cuomo says frequently, "but we insist on all the government we need." An elegant phrase, but hardly a coherent philosophy of governing. In practice, Cuomo rarely makes the distinction between only and all. What Cuomo will tell you, though, is that government has an obligation to assist the homeless, the infirm, the destitute, to serve the poor without ravaging the middle class. "I didn't come into this business to be an accountant," he says. "I came into this...
