Since then, the dissident issue has been only one of many stories that Clark has covered. But it is now at center stage-especially because foreign correspondents, as well as their subjects, have been harassed. One has been questioned extensively by the KGB; two have been charged in a libel suit. Some have been labeled CIA agents; others have been reported "expelled" after leaving the country on routine transfers. At last week's trial, however, Clark observed that nearly all of the 22 American journalists now at work in Moscow were outside the courtroom. Says he: "As long...
This all would be laughable if it weren't so important. The Bonn agenda may be relatively meaningless, but the drama of Jimmy Carter on the world stage is critical The measure of the competence of the American President has become about as significant an aftermath of the summit as anything else...

Three doors provide the set, but while the look of the show is simple, the numbers are not, for Porter's songs make unusual demands on a singer. The exact harmonies and sure rhythmic style make Porter's works difficult to perform. But this company, led by the fine voices of Baja Mahdi and Linda Terry, can and does sing, very well. They tend to shy away from Porter's more...
