...Amid the welter of guides to individual countries, American Express stands out with a new series of eight pocket guides (Simon & Schuster; $7.95 each), detailed, small-print tours of cities and regions. The excellent volume on Rome includes history, sights, even ice cream shops. These minis are handy, although the profusion of tiny symbols can be confusing. Berlitz, in addition to its well-thumbed series of phrase books publishes city guides ($4.95) to sightseeing and activities, but do not look here for hotel or restaurant recommendations...
...book, part thriller, part history, part romantic epic, is a remarkable feat of technique, and of soul. Gage deftly shifts among hundreds of characters, dozens of locales, and a welter of big-scale narratives-World War II, the Greek civil war, the exodus of Mourgana refugees in every direction-that in lesser hands would overwhelm the story of one woman's family.

...social evolution is played as vapid bourgeois chitchat. The fondest wish of the Prozorov sisters - to return to the gaiety of Moscow - is voiced as a giggling endearment to a baby. Yet the essence of the play is conveyed with antic energy and force. Serban adroitly manages a welter of themes: aimless ambition, futile romance, grotesque distortions of honor, loneliness in a crowd. The play becomes the raucous comedy that Chekhov always insisted it was and hurtles exuberantly toward a triumph of optimism over experience. Among a solid cast, including Jeremy Geidt as the pathetic Chebutykin, three performers achieve fresh...
...economies. In September, Denmark got its first conservative Prime Minister in 81 years, Poul Schlüter, who immediately pushed through an austerity program. Belgium's Christian Democratic Prime Minister Wilfried Martens took office a year ago with the avowed aim of cutting back government spending. In a welter of political confusion, the Dutch are now moving toward a center-right coalition government that is committed to trimming the welfare state. A year ago, Norway formed a minority government under conservative colors, the first in 52 years...
