Pastors’ Disclosures May Stir Empathy, Some Evangelicals Say by Neela Bannerjee, New York Times, p.A 26, December 13, 2006.

- Best of All Possible Worlds, Updated for the Paris Stage Review by Alan Riding. Published: December 13, 2006, New York Times in Theatre Arts Section. Update of Voltaire's Candide, as done by Leonard Bernstein and Lillian Hellman, after her questioning by the House Un-American Activities Committee. That was fifty years ago. "Robert Carsen, the Canadian opera director, has rewritten and rearranged this “Candide” so that audiences need not deduce any analogy between past and present: he spells it out. The score and lyrics remain largely unchanged, but the staging and new dialogue make it clear that the target is the United States, from the 1950s to this day."
Pascal Gely/Agence BernandFive exiled kings become the world leaders Tony Blair, Vladimir V. Putin, George W. Bush, Silvio Berlusconi and Jacques Chirac in this “Candide.”
