...nuclear policy and the war on the dollar. When De Gaulle pledged in 1967 to aid French Canadians seeking "liberation," Beuve-Méry wrote that the President was suffering from a "pathological superego." Adding piquancy to the clashes was the fact that the President and the editor shared strong character traits-courage, independence, and a devotion to what each thought was best for France. A veteran Le Monde staffer remarks: "Beuve was a Gaullist long before De Gaulle was. But Beuve was never a Gaullist at the same time that De Gaulle...

As for the lead, Barbra Streisand oscillates between postures: now Mae West, now Lena Horne, now brassily elegant, now flying her Yiddishkeit...
...three angels who dined with Abraham are not described in Genesis. Early Christian painters presented them as strong, manly figures who greatly resembled Abraham. But angels were swift travelers and miraculous beings. By the 4th century A.D., Abraham's visitors had permanently acquired wings and halos. Much thought was given to the thorny question of whether angels were male or female. That dilemma was resolved by St. Thomas Aquinas in 1272, who reasoned that angels could assume whatever aspect they liked but had no bodily functions. Hence they were neither male nor female...
