...Butterfly reached Broadway in March 1988, where it won the Tony Award as best play of the season, and has grossed $17 million so far. The show has also been mounted in London, where Anthony Hopkins is playing the character based on Boursicot, and in Buenos Aires and Hamburg. Remarkably for a nonmusical, it has been booked for major productions in Paris, Brussels, Oslo, Copenhagen, Rome, Madrid, Tokyo, Tel Aviv, Sydney, Auckland, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, San Juan and New Delhi. This makes Hwang the first U.S. playwright to become an international phenomenon in a generation, since the heyday...
...early as 1927, the young vice consul senses an approaching malaise in Hamburg: "The city talks with a thrilling breathless strength through the restless machinery of its harbor, and yet talks with the voice of unutterable horror, through the lurid, repulsive alleys of St. Pauli."

...more certain project for the moment is the Hamburg-Hannover line, which the West German government committed itself to building last June, with operation scheduled for the mid-1990s. The track is planned as the first segment of a 600-mile Kiel-Munich line, but not all systems are go yet. Some politicians and many citizens remain unconvinced that the $1.8 billion needed for the first segment will be money well spent, especially with $1.35 billion already allocated for a high-speed conventional-railway project called the Inter-City Experimental. Transrapid supporters, however, do not think the choice between conventional...
