Benny's brilliant lampoon of Hamlet's soliloquy "To be or not to be" is at the crux of a disastrous rendezvous between Maria and Lt. Stanislav Sobinski (Robert Stack). Stan gets the hots for Maria -- a passion not reciprocated. Hence, when Stan is dispatched to war, he cruelly implicates Maria with Professor Siletsky (Stanley Ridges), the real spy who has a secret plan to destroy the Warsaw resistance. The theater troupe is then forced to use their thespian skills to ensure their own survival, impersonating Nazi officers and even Hitler in order to outwit the enemy.

According to a report released by New York-based Human Rights Watch--Asia, children in Chinese orphanages are being systematically starved to death or killed through neglect in order to keep the number of abandoned children low. Between November 1991 and October 1992, 207 children died at the Children's Welfare Institute, just one orphanage in Shanghai. Of those 207, almost one-third had been in the orphanage less than a month. Among babies, who were admitted at the age of two months or less, 92% died within the first year.

Angelina, whose style has gone from vampy vixen to casual mom, has reason to be concerned, says Beverly Hills psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman. “Brad was mesmerized by Angelina’s sexiness in the beginning,” says the doctor, who has not treated Brad, Angelina or Jen. “But the fact that Jen’s out there looking great is making him notice her.”

[T]he reaction in the gay community is very different than when activists began outing powerful gay leaders they thought were failing to act in the face of AIDS, among other issues. Whereas outing once inspired anguished and rancorous debate, gays and lesbians see themselves in a kind of war and are more likely now to agree that it is acceptable to out policy-makers they believe are attacking their rights. Particularly in the Bay Area, supporters argue that outing is a reasonable tactic because it can be effective but doesn't necessarily end careers and lives, as it used to. The practice is unstoppable anyway, they said, because the Internet and the country's culture of disclosure has turned privacy into a quaint anachronism.
