...stunned," according to one of the Senator's advisers, but spoke warmly of Kemp. Meanwhile, Dole seemed more interested in the possibility of bringing Bennett aboard. Grownup without being elderly, the best-selling author of The Book of Virtues possessed not only the intellect but the gravitas to shoulder the Dole campaign into a debate on values, where Dole himself moves reluctantly. Bennett is a Catholic, and the Dole team badly wants the Catholic vote; he is a man with government experience--drug czar, Secretary of Education--even if he was never an elected official, which is something...

...husband Ed (Erik Amblad) can't seem to muster up genuinely powerful emotions. In a play running at normal speed, he's still stuck moving in 33 RPM. The only real life he shows in all of the first act appears when Pat gives him an overzealous shoulder massage, making him bounce up and down on the couch during his monotonous monologue. What a pity that the life he possesses in this scene is drawn entirely from another person's action...

...concert and saw B.B. King perform. Aside from being moved and awed by the music, I was bewildered to find only a handful of African Americans in the audience. When I asked an older gentleman why more in his community didn't attend, he put his hand on my shoulder and said solemnly, "Son, my people have been livin' the blues for 200 years; most see no sense spending their time listening to it." I agree with Isaac Tigrett's comment that it is a tragedy "the black community abandoned the blues and the audience became white." Bravo to Tigrett...

CAIRO: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu got the cold shoulder Thursday in his first visit to Egypt since his election. "No Welcome to You Netanyahu," read the opposition paper El-Ahali. "Unwanted, Insufferable guest," said "El-Dustour." Not the obvious greeting from the first Middle Eastern country to sign a peace agreement with Israel. Netanyahu met with President Hosni Mubarak and reiterated his commitment to peace with Syria but remained entrenched in his refusal to return the Golan Heights for peace. He continued to stress that there will be no peace agreements that do not ensure Israel's security...
