...sense of kinship with out-of-towners has not necessarily diminished New York's role as cultural arbiter. Just as Broadway hits go on tour, so off- Broadway successes dot the schedules of regional theaters a year or two later. In recent seasons, however, the cultural exchange has begun to work both ways, with regional theaters that have developed promising productions often joining forces with Manhattan institutions or producers. That is the case with two current off-Broadway delights: a lively feminist interpretation of the British social-class comedy Educating Rita by Chicago's Steppenwolf, the ensemble's sixth foray...
Stacks, 45, graduated from Yale in 1964 with a degree in political science. He reported for the Washington Star before joining TIME's Washington bureau in 1967. After a tour as Boston bureau chief, where he covered the 1972 New England primaries, he returned in 1973 to Washington as the bureau's news editor, directing coverage of the Watergate scandal, cultivating confidential sources and handling a series of notable exclusive stories.

Nowadays the shop has even become a stop on the tour-bus routes out of Tucson. Her customers aren't the sort whose taste runs to Zane Grey -- no, they are more likely looking to flesh out a study of, say, Texas John Slaughter with a document first published when the century was young. Winifred either has it, will find...
...descent to Khost's dirt airstrip is gut wrenching, a series of dizzying circles, jigs and S-turns as once again the planes pop flares in rapid succession. Last week Soviet-built government transports delivered 60 journalists from India, the Soviet bloc and the West on a propaganda tour aimed at dispelling "rumors" of intense fighting in the area. Unfortunately, the tight security around the reporters only betrayed the government's fear of the guerrillas. Soviet-made Mi-24 helicopter gunships whirred protectively overhead, sweeping across the surrounding terrain. From a distance came the echoes of explosions...
