Confusion over timing, as well as bickering among foreign-policy advisers, prompted the cancellation two weeks ago of a diplomatic speech at the Richard Nixon library and led Dole to deliver a trademark quip, "I didn't know I had so many advisers on China." The problem, however, is deeper than that: Dole appears bereft of core beliefs on fundamental issues, such as whether the U.S. should extend China's "Most Favored Nation" trade status and whether the U.S. should abandon its longstanding...

There are few concessions to showmanship: Allen keeps his eyes closed and legs crossed most of the time, and his stage costume consists of the usual baggy green corduroys, plaid shirt, gray cardigan and the trademark black-rimmed glasses. Which, of course, is exactly what people pay to see. With concert fees reportedly in the $40,000-plus range, the show seems a lucrative proposition. But for Allen, who hardly needs the money, kicks may be the main payoff...
