...final act, Cross departs from the more traditional staging of the previous three. The set is removed and in one corner the old doctor, Ivan Romanovich Chebutykin (Ian Lithgow), covers himself in newspapers. In a lesser production, this dramatic move could have proved distracting and muted the impact of the final scenes, but the performances are so absorbing that this change does not seem important...
Casting aside the signature skinnies and grinnies that characterize the glossy pages of Elle and Vogue, Mirabella in its fashion pages features lesser-known models with figures of more realistic proportions. Instead of highlighting fantasy fashions, it appeals to the 30-to-40-year-old woman by showcasing practical, often affordable clothes.

The . small gulf sheikdoms -- including Kuwait's government-in-exile -- fielded 11,500 troops with the Saudis, while lesser contingents from 17 other countries carried out some aircraft, ship and behind-the-lines assignments. Most of the 28 coalition members performed noncombat duties or tried, as the 1,700 Moroccan troops did, to stay invisible: their dispatch to Saudi Arabia had become a focus of controversy back home. But Schwarzkopf took pains to tip his forage...
