...when it comes to electing mayors, Americans have never been fussy about character. The mayor can cheat on his taxes or his wife, but if the garbage is picked up and the snow plowed, no one cares very much. Like the mayor of these United States, Clinton has done a decent job of minding the store, keeping the economy ticking over, and steadily announcing small-bore solutions to everyday problems, proposing school uniforms, cellular-phone service to fight crime, and curfews. Without World War III to worry about, the Chief Executive turns into President Pothole...
...lest you all forget, winter is coming! Mere weeks away, the cool sting of the air and the slippery snow will be the curse of our days.

Poised between the Pacific and southeast Alaskan coastal glaciers lies Tongass National Forest. Don't let the Alaska address fool you: Tongass is a rain forest. Protected from snow by the tree canopy and from the frigid air by the warmer ocean winds, deer browse among ancient groves of Sitka spruce, yellow cedar and hemlock. The shelter of these giants is vital for wildlife, but the trees are also the prize sought by loggers--a single 200-ft. Sitka spruce may yield 10,000 board feet of timber so fine it can be used to make pianos and guitars. Lesser...
...combined efforts of directors Michael Friedman and Hilary Snow have produced a theater experience that is both enjoyable and thought provoking. Placing The Zoo Story and The Actor's Nightmare back to back, Friedman and Snow have allowed the plays to compliment each other. It is a night of comedy and tragedy, but also a night of good theater...
