...Ukraine nearly came to blows late last year over this strategically placed islet, which guards the only shipping lane from the landlocked Azov Sea to the Black Sea. Tensions eased last week with the ratification of an accord to share the Azov's waterways?but Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says the fate of Tuzla itself has yet to be decided...
...couple of computer-science geeks transform themselves into global superstars? For the answer, do a search for a paper that Moscow-born Sergey Brin and Michigan native Larry Page wrote in 1997 when they were pursuing Ph.D.s in computer science at Stanford. The title, "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine," doesn't trip off the tongue, but the authors get right to the point: "In this paper, we present Google...
...GOOGLE GUYS Young, nerdy, ready to IPO: Larry Page, Eric Schmidt and Sergey Brin made it seem not so much like 2003 but 1999.

The music, composed by Leonid Desyatnikov, is catchy if far too loud. Michael Chybowski, the lighting designer, creates beautiful scenes of glowing parasols, gleaming water and golden dust against the black background of the stage. The actors, especially Waterston as the beautiful and fiercely determined young adulteress, are all competent, though their frenetic...
