Spring has come to Bosnia, and irises, primrose and lilacs pattern the mountainsides, but the temperature still dips below freezing at night, and heavy rains are frequent. The terrain is excellent for hiding, however. O'Grady had crashed in a cave-pocked, densely forested region used during World War II for that purpose by partisans evading the Nazis. The downed flyer had soon consumed the eight 4-oz. packs of water in his emergency kit. But he was able to catch rain in Ziploc plastic bags and at one point tried to squeeze water out of his wet woolen socks...

Owens, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called Lake and said, "Our feet are dry," meaning they were flying over land. The sun was winking through the rugged, fog-draped Balkan terrain as the CH-53s spent the next 50 minutes flitting 200 ft. over pine forests...

And I drove over it, reaching...
When the curtain rises on Central Park West, we realize we're back in Allenland--that ingenious, engaging and occasionally claustrophobic terrain. We know the props: shrink jokes, sexual put-downs, etc. Debra Monk is Phyllis, a psychotherapist who, having discovered that her husband Sam (Guilfoyle) is unfaithful, seeks solace from her friend Carol (Lavin). Or so it seems. Turns out that Phyllis isn't looking for comfort but revenge: she suspects it is Carol her husband has been sleeping with. Carol counters by announcing that she and Sam, desperately in love, will be moving to London...
