...most people, leaving high public office quickly leads to a loss of prominence. Not so for Jeane Kirkpatrick. Ten weeks after returning to private life from her four-year stint as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, the blunt-spoken Kirkpatrick has become a star on the lecture circuit, a hero within her newly adopted Republican Party and probably the most talked-about, albeit undeclared, electoral newcomer on the political scene. Though Kirkpatrick finds the glare of personal celebrity "very unexpected," she is passing up few opportunities to make the most of it. "I get a lift from speaking...

In his tax speech last week, President Reagan alluded to its two founders, Steven Jobs and Stephen Wozniak, who started the firm in a garage and set out on a "golden future."

The unconventional Einstein was a near pantomime set to Wilson's typically elliptical spoken texts and allusive stage pictures of railroad trains and spaceships. There were no formal arias or indeed any set pieces at all; a small chorus sang "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight" and solfege syllables (do, re, mi) over hypnotic, relentless music. Sellout audiences loved it. The work...
