What they do not share, however, is political style. Confrontation brought Reagan to power. As his rhetoric on Bork, the budget and Central America demonstrates, he remains most comfortable when he is taking his opponents head on. As Senate majority leader, Baker successfully yinned to Reagan's yang in crucial legislative battles. But as Baker has unhappily discovered, the White House is very different from the Senate. Says his longtime aide James Cannon: "In the Senate, they fight with boxing gloves; in the White House, they fight with guns and knives." More important, he has had difficulty blending into...
...Women are asking more of men," maintains Jennifer Knopf, co-director of the adult-sexuality program at Northwestern Medical School in Chicago. "As women assume more of the men's roles in society, it's expected and natural, like yin and yang, that men should balance that out."

...other hand, there are limits. Andreassi goes over the top and out the door playing the caddish pilot Yang Sun. When Brecht spoke of emotionally "distancing" the audience from the actors, he was thinking in terms of yards, not light-years. Though Shipley's male alter-ego Shui Ta is an outstanding piece of physical acting (her face is concealed by a mask), she never quite makes you believe that Shen Te was either a prostitute or someone who Did It All For Love. Joseph Costa is fine as an unemployed hobo, but in the important supporting role...
