...cuts. The Council decided it would make more sense to cut some grants altogether and increase others significantly than to take a little bit from everybody; artists are still screaming, playwrights are boycotting conferences, hysterical letters from theatre companies and orchestras take their place on editorial pages beside tireless letters of explanation from Sir Roy Shaw and equally polarized columns by arts critics and culture-watchers. But the London theatre has rarely been healtheir. This year's Edinburgh Festival--a staggering assortment of fringe theatre companies, musicians and artists--was, even at its most materially impoverished, an embarrassment of riches...
...tireless campaigner"? Absolutely! "Shocked." Yes, its easy to play to a crowd, but my statements to the tenants were honest and their lack of endorsement does not mean I will abandon their interests. "Fighting back tears?" Hardly. A snappy dresser? "Aggressive?" Its great to be a woman candidate. A stalking horse for Brattle Street conservatives? Silly talk at a time when there's much too much at stake. Equivocal about housing policies in cambridge? No, just honest. Anyone pushing simplistic rhetoric about housing is not serving the best interests of the cause they champion.

...This year, she's making her first bid for the city council, and she won, with no fuss at all, the support of the liberal Cambridge Civic Association (CCA).

Because of this last contradiction- because The Mystery of Oberwald does not "work" on the accepted narrative level-the film may be scorned or, worse, dismissed. That would do this tireless innovator an injustice. Antonioni will be 70 next year, but he has suggested a bold new direction for the cinema-and created a work of dazzling ambition and achievement. -By Richard Corliss
Jordan said that one of the firm's partners, former Democratic National Committee Chairman Robert Strauss, had invited him to join the Washington office. By tireless travel and nonstop fund raising in corporate and government offices, the cigar-chomping Jordan has managed to double the Urban League's staff (now 4,200) and quadruple its budget (now $150 million, most of it for job training programs). Said he: "I've always seen this as a ten-year job. It's time for a change, personally and institutionally." Jordan insisted he has fully recovered from injuries sustained...
