After the hearings end this week, the President is expected to carry out his promise, figuratively if not literally, to "stand on the roof and yell." For some of his former staffers, however, the ordeal may be far from over. Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh is expected to start handing up indictments of the key players this month...
...Island's fashionable Westhampton Beach four years ago. "There used to be a dune in front and a beach in front of that," Patricia recalls. "The very first winter we had a horrible storm, and we lost the dune." Two years later gale- force winds blew the house's roof and top floor off. "We rebuilt a whole new house. Since then, we've lost 8 ft. of sand." Now, she complains, "there's water under the house. The steps are gone. The houses on both sides of ours are gone." She adds bitterly, "And they...
...past this is to see the two together, to compare them, and this can best be done under the roof of a great encyclopedic museum. Hence it is a pity that Terra did not give his collection to the Art Institute of Chicago. Much, no doubt, would have gone into storage, because much is not of museum quality.

(Gray is to Dominique de Menil...
...addition to musicals, the West End offers one surprise delight that is, rather, a play with music. Up on the Roof is a British cousin to The Big Chill, an unpretentious glimpse of the evolving bond among five friends at college graduation in 1975, a wedding in 1980 and a tenth reunion. They meet as members of an a cappella rock group and often break into semi-oldies song: the sweet, sentimental arrangements, unaccompanied by a band and therefore a realistic part of the action, aptly comment on their changing lives. The appealing cast, which helped write the show...
