True, the 1997-98 crash has left Asian countries, companies and banks with manufacturing overcapacity and huge debts, which have to be reduced. That, says Hormats, "means more bankruptcies, more unemployment and continued recession for most of 1999" as the excesses are written off.

...civil should a trial get under way next year. Last week some Senators began to discuss the possibility that a censure deal could be cut after the House votes.

For his new play he has a title--Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter--but not a clue. This is a man in search of a muse, which fate, in the form of screenwriters Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard, brightly provides. Viola De Lesseps (Gwyneth Paltrow) has it all: beauty, poise, a dowry and a titled suitor. But what she really wants...
