...surface, the "war," as Poles refer to military rule, is hardly noticeable. The tanks are gone from the streets, the soldiers are back in their barracks, and television newscasters have hung up their ill-fitting military uniforms. Indeed, the most vivid reminder that Poles live in a state where the authorities can-and occasionally do-frisk, detain and arrest on sight is what cannot be seen any more: the once ubiquitous Solidarity pins on coat lapels and the political slogans that seemed to be scrawled on every available wall. But if the shock and fear of the first dark days...
...independent ensemble of Brown students first mounted the show at home in Providence earlier this year. They received rave reviews, extended their on-campus run, and then got a donation from an anonymous fan who wanted to send the production to the Boston area. The whole "tribe," as they refer to themselves on stage, gathered at the Pudding in June and hurriedly polished the act before last week's opening...
...Italian I resent your review of Mussolini [June 7]. The cowed and incapacitated Italian army, navy and air force that you refer to made it possible for the U.S. Army to land practically undisturbed in Southern Italy.

...Matters follows all the Bernsteins from obscurity to celebrity, traveling the pull of Lenny's powerful slipstream. As Burton tells it, the early conditions were not propitious for fame. Sam, the father, was a successful businessman, a manic-depressive and a parochial ethnocentric (in later years he would refer to Dwight Eisenhower as General Eisenberg and to Adlai Stevenson as Steve Adelson). He did not regard music as an occupation for a nice Jewish boy, and along the way he made life miserable not only for his children but for his wife Jennie, who nevertheless stayed married...
...tirade was the latest shock in what some White House aides bluntly refer to in private as "the Kirkpatrick problem." Worse, the speech came only days after she and Secretary of State Alexander Haig deeply embarrassed the Administration by missing signals on how the U.S. should vote on a Security Council resolution concerning a Falklands ceasefire. The two events served to highlight the apparent inability of Reagan's foreign policy team to speak with a single, coherent voice. But they also renewed speculation that Kirkpatrick, who has had a long-running feud with Haig, might be removed from...
