...Arcadia provides a cautionary fable for the historian, it is also a sort of trans-century canticle whose themes resound through the decades in transmuted, enriched forms. Stoppard has devised the perfect setting for his verbal ambiguity and punning, as when he plays on the phrase "the action of bodies in heat." To Thomasina and her tutor Septimus Hodge, the words suggest the entropic universe of the second law of thermodynamics and the collapse of classical mathematics. But to Chloe Coverly, a distant descendant of Thomasina, those bodies are human and the heat is sexual. Words, no less than...

On weekends rifle ranges around the country resound with the din of thousands of Swiss practicing their marksmanship. At the same time, Northrop F-5E Tiger fighter jets skim along mountain faces and blue-gray-uniformed figures clamber down couloirs and across alpine meadows.
