...little men of Shakespeare and transforms them into the little Every-men of Beckett. In his American debut, British Playwright Tom Stoppard, 30, offers an agile, witty play that snaps with verbal acrobatics and precisely choreographed dances of the mind, while coming heartbeat close to the pity and terror of mortality. In the title roles, Brian Murray and John Wood are phenomenal, and Derek Goldby's direction has tensile strength...

Neither Nasser's troops nor his own ragged army has been able to break the stalemate in the country's five-year-old civil war; Royalist tribesmen of the Imam Badr still hold half of Yemen, and are in a good position to contest Sallal's army for control of the rest.
