...most ballyhooed work, Buckley's adaptation of his espionage novel Stained Glass, proved stagnant and pointless. Deficiencies that can be overlooked on the page -- cardboard characters, what-if plots about events from decades ago, smugness about how easy it is to distinguish between right and wrong -- are wearisome on the stage. Buckley's dialogue was, if not sesquipedalian, then not serendipitous either. The cumbersome production resulted in set changes longer than the scenes, although the scenes were not necessarily any more interesting...
...series of watercolors that follows the European kings' portraits shows the influence Western Europe had on this Eurasian art. While a great many of the geometric patterns and bright colors which distinguish Islamic art are still present, it is evident through the number of scenes of daily life that the Ottoman world's contact with Europe had influenced its culture.

This year, however, as the regenerative cycle of baseball's spring comes round again, there is less of a sense of a new beginning: not only has one of the game's most upstanding onetime icons, Steve Garvey, been revealed as a three-timing playboy...
...particular, the senior-level editors could participate in a race awareness workshop, not unlike those in which many large corporations engage. Hopefully, this would broaden the editors' perception and interpretation of issues relating to minorities while helping them to distinguish between fact and racist, or "racially insensitive" fiction. To secure facts more adequately, an editorial liason position could be established to maintain communication with minority student groups, so that if an article such as Hsia's should come before the liason he would be able to edit it accordingly...
