...nowdubbed Velvet Revolution from, of all places, a theatre called the "Magic Lantern." Ash brilliantly juxtaposes the gravity of the political situation with the ironic humor of Havel and his band of writers, artists, economists and politicians. He tells of how his press credentials bore Havel's personal stamp--"a beaming pussy cat with the word 'Smile' across his chest!" A second credential bears a stamp with a beaming green frog and the words tres bien...
When Bush is still remarkably high in the polls, this demands an explanation. The President's popularity is partly owing to the stream of good news on the economic and international fronts. But since he has barely even tried to put his personal stamp on these happy developments, credit must also go in large part to Bush's personality. He strikes people as a nice guy.

The Green Seal, introduced last week, should start appearing early next year on such products as toilet paper, light bulbs, laundry cleaners and facial tissues that meet the criteria established by a panel of scientists. "Our objective is to help American consumers vote with their pocketbooks on environmental issues," says former Earth Day chairman Denis Hayes, who is chief executive of the nonprofit, Washington-based Green Seal project...
