Stoppard has written a play as new as nouvelle cuisine (which, incidentally, it dismisses as passe) and as defiantly déjà vu as Private Lives, Miss Julie and 'Tis Pity She's a Whore (allusions to which snake deviously through the plot). On its dazzling surface, The Real Thing is a throwback to the comedies of Oscar Wilde, Noël Coward and Philip Barry. This is love among the leisure classes, in which aristocrats of style spend their time polishing epigrams and tiptoeing into one another's penthouse souls. Stoppard's characters have...
There was a strong hint of deja vu in the wintry air of Geneva last week as U.S. negotiators at the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) filed into the headquarters of their Soviet opposite numbers, across the Avenue de la Paix from the Palais des Nations.

In that offering, the con-partisan bad guys, SPECTRE, captured a etched U.S. Air Force plane with nuclear missiles a board and then ransomed it to the world. This name, SPECTRE is up to evil doings once again, filtrating NATO's strategic bomber command with a turncoat U.S. Air Force officer, sending two cruise missiles armed with nuclear warheads into the Atlantic--where, again, the evil group is waiting to claim and ransom...
...game at Penn, when a roughing-the-kicker call on Harvard gave Quaker placekicker Dave Shulman a second chance, which he used to beat the Crimson with no time showing on the clock. But the lateness of the call--as Restic saw it--gave the visiting coach that deja vu feeling...
