...Alice, by Joan Silver and Julianne Boyd, an energizing experience. Director Jennifer Giering '92 says that "the primary reason [she] chose it was to give five to six women on this campus a chance to really shine in a show that's just them in different combinations. My aim was to touch all sorts of women." The show's popularity stemmed mostly from its celebration of independent, strong women...
Logistics, though, is hardly the military's main concern. All press reports from the gulf must be passed by military censors, who look for taboo details such as troop locations or hints of future operations. Their ostensible aim is to protect the lives of American servicemen, a goal no journalist would decry.

That would be accompanied by some of the biggest tank battles ever fought, which would also be destructive and bloody. The allies might suffer huge losses so quickly that they would speedily sue for peace or perhaps accede to a panicky U.N. call...
