...streets. Some balanced precariously on bridge railings in hope of catching just a glimpse of the waving Pontiff as he sped by in his Popemobile. If John Paul could not visit the Poznan memorial, a crowd of several hundred people managed to avoid police blockades and rally by the twin crosses. A lonely yellow-and-white papal banner was left behind in the empty torch of an eternal flame that was extinguished soon after the military crackdown in December...
...denim jacket over his pinstripe suit and tie, John Glenn Jr. sat behind the controls of his ivory and red, twin-engine Beechcraft, ready to take off for a regular weekend of campaigning. It was 7 o'clock on a recent Friday morning, and today the candidate would head for Ohio, then loop all the way back to the northern tip of Maine. Glenn does not like to start his days so early. He is a man of endless patience, but overscheduling Glenn, aides know well, is one of the very few things that cause his temper to blow...
...provocative British plays that recently made it to Manhattan, Caryl Churchill's Top Girls and Steven Berkoff s Greek, include oblique denunciations of the Tory leader.

And Lawson is a deadpan delight, a sad-clown naif in the spirit of Buster Keaton and Harry Langdon. Whether scurrying for his snooty brothers' clothes while muttering an ironic "With pleasure!" or double-talking his way into the princess...
...Craighead, perhaps the foremost authorities on the grizzly, insist that the answer is for the Park Service to drop its "forever wild" doctrine, at least as far as bears are concerned. In the early 1970s, at the height of their quarrel with the federal authorities, the 66-year-old twin brothers angrily quit their grizzly studies in Yellowstone. Says John: "It's fine to say that you want a pristine, pre-Columbian setting, but it won't work in Yellowstone [which had 2.4 million visitors last year]. Man is a definite part of the ecology and must...
