...Valdez spill was only a trivial occurrence compared with the far- reaching, perhaps irreversible processes that were unfolding around the world. The earth's population, now 5.2 billion, rose in 1989 an estimated 87.5 million, maintaining a growth rate that could double the number of human beings by the year 2025. Deforestation and burning of fossil fuels spewed at least 19 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, aggravating the global warming process that could cause the average worldwide temperature to rise as much as 4.5 degrees C (8 degrees F) within the next 60 years. Another 11.3 million...
...difference is most dramatic at the top. Homes in Connecticut that shot up to $2 million may now fetch only $1.3 million.

Mystery of the Rose Bouquet, now at Los Angeles' Mark Taper Forum, explores the same phenomenon. This time the setting is a hospital in Argentina, and the characters who drift into each other's dreamscapes are women -- an old contrary patient, rich and autocratic (Anne Bancroft), and a middle-aged nurse whose outward cheer belies a lifetime of thwarted opportunity and scant satisfaction (Jane Alexander...
