...role of Dorothy, played by Charmaine Smith, is sung beautifully and performed in an unusual but convincing manner. Instead of the traditional interpretation of Dorothy as a child who is actively seeking her way home, Smith plays a wide-eyed, younger Dorothy who is pulled around the land of Oz by her new-found friends. As such, these friends, the Scarecrow, Tinman, and Lion, become much more important to the action and motion of the plot...

Sullivan, who attended Oxford and Harvard, had sought to broaden the magazine's audience, bringing in younger writers and running more stories on social and cultural trends as well as politics. He gave a forum to such provocative voices as Camille Paglia, author of a recent psychological hatchet job on Hillary Clinton titled Ice Queen, Drag Queen. Circulation crept up, from 94,000 to 100,000; more significant, advertising revenues increased...
