...imaginary campus of Camden (read: Bennington). But Eisenstadt resents the unavoidable comparisons between their work. "It's annoying because I don't think it's fair to either of the books, although I do like the guy a lot," she says of Ellis, while sitting and sipping water in her publisher's New York office, "We both decided independently to write books about a college like Bennington, but his vision of it is a lot different from mine...
...Farsi Island on Thursday proved far less prudent. They had been under U.S. surveillance ever since their rendezvous off the island. One of the American observers tracking the quartet of vessels was an Army pilot in an unarmed OH-6 Hughes helicopter, running quietly at 800 ft. above the water and peering at the boats through an infrared night-vision scope. He had no trouble identifying the small craft. The largest was a 150-ft.-long Corvette, a steel-hulled boat that could carry a crew of 140. There was a Swedish-built Boghammar boat, 42 ft. long...
...over in moments. The Boghammar blazed, then sank from view. The two small boats flared too, then drifted. The Corvette sped off toward Farsi. Arriving in two Mark III Sea Specter patrol boats, Navy SEAL commandos rushed to pluck survivors out of the water.

The event, viewable in a marathon day or in three installments, is The Mahabharata, the most ambitious production yet by Peter Brook, 62, the visionary elder statesman among stage auteur directors. A French version originated in Avignon in 1985, then played to sold-out houses in Paris in 1986. The English-language premiere transfers this week from the Los Angeles Festival, where it played in a cavernous studio...
...ever. Gore was born in Washington and spent much of his childhood on Embassy Row in the Fairfax Hotel, where his parents had an apartment. He fondly remembers climbing onto the roof and hurling water balloons down on the cars on Massachusetts Avenue. He was an honor student and captain of the football team at the patrician St. Alban's School. He met Tipper (a childhood nickname; her real name is Mary Elizabeth) at his St. Alban's graduation party. John Davis, who taught Gore church history, remembers him as the straightest arrow in the quiver, someone whose only evident...
