Streisand recalls the times with girlish enthusiasm. "I was usually late to the theater every night. I used to try to get a cab on Central Park West, and half the time I couldn't get the cab. I would hail police cars, trucks, anything, with tears streaming down my cheeks, to try to get me to the theater. I was always late -- have to get in there, put on the clothes, get on the stage. And when ((method-acting guru)) Lee Strasberg came to see me, I said, 'I feel so bad I can't use your method...
Concepcion Picciotto's speech is punctuated by forceful statements that belie her girlish, lurching sing-songy voice. On this cool spring day in April, Concepcion is on the sidewalk in front of Lafayette Square, a park directly across the street from the White House. She's lived on this same patch of sidewalk for the last 14 years, day and night, rain or shine, reminding the thousands of visitors who file past the White House each week about the dangers and horrors of nuclear war, the corruption that infects every aspect of the United States government, and the necessity...

It is, chillingly, the only time one sees Norma's legendary screen face...
...group from Oxford whose ideology, until now, has consisted in the systematic replacement of the most depressing features of adult life'n `love with their more pleasurable childhood equivalents; the band's iconography includes butterflies and flowers and paper cutouts, and bandleader Amelia Fletcher's voice would be called girlish were it not for the complexity of the hooks she sings. Early songs like "I Fell in Love with You Last Night" or "Shallow" stripped the love thing of all its political, and explicitly physical, components, allowing listeners of either sex to luxuriate in real or imagined virginal crushes while...
