...play that dare not speak its name. In London the title of Mark Ravenhill's first work for the stage was obscured by discreet asterisks. In the U.S., where the ethics of oral sex is now bandied about on the evening news, the full obscenity has been restored, thus preventing most publications (including this one) from printing the play's name. But Shopping and F______ is more than just a shock-provoking title. The play opens with a character vomiting, assaults us with rough language and features brutally graphic scenes of sadomasochistic sex. Ah, the magic of live theater...
...slap I received, simply for possessing a copy of TIME, from the special interrogator in a political prison in Tehran. I finally had to escape from my beloved homeland and settle in Europe. Despite Khatami's hints that there should be freedom of thought, if you want to speak about freedom nowadays in Iran, you are accused of being a corrupt person. Khatami's remarks bring hope not only to the people who voted for him but also to Iranians like me who love God, human beings and Iran. We want to return home and try for peace, freedom...

Further, by remaining silent, Republicans risk sacrificing their claim to leadership of the Moral Majority/family values wing of the party. The squandering of this opportunity could set-off a Bible-thumping revolt in the big tent...
...kicked out of the Stormont talks. The Protestant terrorist group UDA was shown the door two weeks ago when it gunned down three Catholic civilians -- violating the all-important pledge of nonviolence. Sinn Fein spent Thursday protesting its innocence, perhaps a little too loudly. ?We do not speak for any armed group,? said leader Gerry Adams, denying what he?d always tacitly admitted -- regular contact with the Republican Army council. In a short statement, the IRA said the truce ?is intact? -- but pointedly did not refuse responsibility for the killings. Protestant leaders are publicly somber, privately cock-a-hoop...
