ADAM SMITH Democrat--Washington 9th A moderate candidate in a centrist district, Smith was the third Democratic pickup in Washington this fall. He did it by painting incumbent Randy Tate as a Gingrich crony...
...Cezanne retrospective that opened at the Philadelphia Museum of Art last week is beyond question one of the greatest shows that has ever been held in America, or anywhere else. (It opened in Paris in the fall of 1995 and then was seen at the Tate Gallery in London; this is its last stop.) Eight years in preparation, it contains 112 oils and 75 drawings and watercolors. The last Cezanne retrospective was held 60 years ago in Paris. In size, in scholarship, in the magnitude of its subject's achievement, this new one is a truly epic event. God help...
...more serious business. Menace II Society had a kinetic kick, but it was also heinous in its uninflected take on teen brutality.

Vlachou earned a journalistic reputation with a witty political column in her father's daily Kathimerini before assuming control of the paper in 1951. She shut the paper down in the late '60s in protest against the military dictators ruling Greece...

Among Shakespeare's self-appointed co-writers was the now forgotten Nahum Tate (1652-1715), who cut and pasted his way through Coriolanus, Richard II and, most notoriously, King Lear, to whom Tate restored sanity, crown and daughter Cordelia before the curtain fell. Among Lear's last Tate speeches: "Cordelia shall be a queen./ Winds catch the sound/ And bear it on your rosy wings to heaven./ Cordelia is a queen...
