...claims he can show them a superior power. The ensuing action hinges on Nero, played by Christian Quilici '01. Nero seduces Poppea (Tonia D'Amelio '00), sending his wife Octavia (a vitally austere Eleanor Hubbard '01) and Poppea's ex-boyfriend Otto (Carolann Buff) on a plot to murder Poppea. The outcome, the defiant coronation of Poppea and the happy banishment of Otto and his new girl (Drusilla, ably sung by Genithia Hogges `01), is supposed to be a testament to the power of love as represented by choir boy Amor, but it never really loses the saucy-sin feel...
...short-lived, ending abruptly when the movie takes a turn for the serious. Though the humor in the first part of The Alarmist is a little off-kilter, one hopes that it will be honed by the movie's conclusion. But that possibility is obliterated by the new murder mystery plot that takes over in the second half. Whatever credibility the script had up to that point is undermined by the oddity of the shift, making the movie a Quentin Tarantino imitation gone awry; the macabre violence and odd moralistic overtones undercut Grigoris' Robin Hood resonance. After a dramatic moral...
...political insider, and has already put the Russian security service on Berezovsky's case. He would also like to remove Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the flashy young millionaire who runs Kalmykia, a tiny republic on the Caspian Sea.

In both the Berezovsky and Ilyumzhinov cases, say friends, Primakov will stay his hand until he is certain he can strike a killing blow...
Having effectively curtailed the more traditional modes of criminal misbehavior (murder, mayhem, what have you), New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani now tops his most-wanted list with jaywalkers, squeegee men and a Norwegian guy who thinks he's a fly. Last week THOR ALEX KAPPFJELL, 32, raised the mayor's ire following a Big Apple airborne binge in which he parachuted from the Empire State and Chrysler buildings. After jumping from the latter, the dreadless Norseman hailed a cab and disappeared. (No word on whether he wore his seat belt.) Giuliani referred to the flights of fancy as "irresponsible...
...human is a theme in Shakespeare's text that is preserved in Sussner's production. The Shakespearean version is great because it describes the anatomy of the takeover, and by doing so, maps the topology of death. By reversing the order, Sussner obscures the tragedy of death and leaves murder. Characters are killed before they speak so that their role in the play always seems an afterthought.. If this review has given little mention to the acting, it is because the acting is overshadowed by a radicalizing interpretation. Though Egan's well-spoken plottings, Queen Ann's lamentations...
