When artists are not rallying the well-heeled troops, they are struggling to transform their feelings about AIDS and its sufferers into art. Theater has already produced a shelf of contentious dramatic literature: Hoffman's As Is, Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart, Harvey Fierstein's Safe Sex, Robert Chesley's Jerker, or the Helping Hand, Alan Bowne's Beirut. The D.C. Cabaret Troupe is performing its new musical, A Dance Against Darkness: Living with AIDS, in Washington. NBC broadcast the first AIDS TV movie, An Early Frost, in 1985, and this week CBS airs An Enemy Among...
Gorbachev needs a respite from all-out competition with the West in order to get on with his program.

His office supplies include five two-way radios, two cellular phones, one headset (so he can talk on radio shows while working on videotapes), two video cameras and three video recorders. That's not all. In the trunk Schreiner keeps batteries, lighting equipment, three still cameras...
...lacquer and lace. The mood could be tender too. On the radio, a slow tune just naturally followed an up-tempo number; it was the heartbeat of teen America. The 19-year-old Aretha Franklin could take a Broadway spiritual like Meredith Willson's Are You Sure and transform it into a righteous steeple raiser. Baby, that was rock and roll...
