E vis, Is It Really You?
asSS,FROM THE TULANIAN
Gingrich at Tniane in the late '60s.For Injure Actor, a Good Sign
Some good news on the breathing front
about actor Christopher Reeve:
"A recent test indicated that both of his
phrenic nerves are intact," University of
Virginia Medical Center spokeswoman
Marguerite Beck told us yesterday.
"Stimulation of these nerves causes
contraction of the diaphragm," which is an
integral part of the breathing process.
Reeve, who broke his neck in a riding
accident Memorial Day weekend, is eating
solid food now-and doctors have even let
him go outside for brief periods at, for
obvious reasons, an undisclosed location.
He's still sitting in a special chair several
times a day, and therapists continue to
exercise his arms and legs. "His spirits are
still pretty good," said Beck.ong before he was lighting fires
in Congress, Newt Gingrich was
fanning flames as a defender of
... nude photos.
As a grad student at Tulane, the
future House speaker, looking a bit like
Elvis (see photo at left) stormed into the
university president's office to demand
that he allow the school newspaper to
publish a photo of a nude sculpture.
"The student newspaper was
produced with student fees," Gingrich
recently told the school's alumni
magazine, the Tulanian. "Our argument
was that it ought to have intellectual
freedom because it was a student
newspaper.... I told him that we were
paying for it and had a right not to be
censored by the people who were not
paying for it.-
But Gingrich had better luck with the
"Contract With America" 25 years later.
Asked if he prevailed at Tulane, he
hesitated and admitted,"Ah... no."Reeve will likely remain at
U-Va. for at least another
couple of weeks. "The family
is considering various
options" for long-term care,
she said. "But no decision has been made
yet."
And the mail keeps coming, to the tune
of 28,000 letters to date.In a Growth Mode

When All 'Hail' Breaks L ss Sen. Arlen
Specter (R-Pa.)--
among the
multitudes who
want to live in the
White House-was5>w
in serious
presidential mode at
Tuesday night's
picnic for Congress
on the South Lawn.
"Just as we
started to walk Specter,
through, they speculating.
started playing 'Hail
to the Chief.' And my chief of staff said,
'That's a good sign!' " Specter announced
to reporters covering the picnic.
Perhaps misinterpreting the media
members' looks of skepticism, Specter
beckoned to his chief of staff, Barry
Caldwell, and started grilling his
underling like the former prosecutor heis.
"What happened as we started to walk
up to the main gate?" Specter demanded.
"The main gate?"
"When we started to walk into the
White House!"
"You took in the sights?"
Caldwell's eyes darted as if trying to
locate an escape route.
"Was there a musical interlude?"
"Yes! 'Hail to the Chief!"
Specter positively beamed at this Perry
Mason moment.
"I didn't want to lead the witness," he
grinned, as his aide suddenly looked
visibly relieved.By G.B. Trudeau

IP/a There were huge roars of approval
from White House aides-in the form
of hoots and cheers-when President
Clinton yesterday nominated Mark
Gearan, 38, to be director of the
Peace Corps. "I think it is fair to say
that if we had a secret ballot on who
the most popular person working in
the White House is, Mark Gearan
would probably win it in a walk,"Clinton said at
the White House
ceremony, which
also honored
Presidential
Scholars.

Washington Post Staff WriterThe Shenandoah Shakespeare Ex-
press is dedicated to presenting
plays stripped of all the fuss of elabo-
rate costumes and sets and huge
casts; the focus is to be only on the
next and the actors. If the text is
Shakespeare, this isn't such a bad
idea. But if the actors are all the rest
of the show, they need to be better,
and better-trained, than the enthusi-
astic cast of the "Hamlet" that
opened last night.
SSE has rented the Source The-
atre space, which with its inadequate
air-conditioning isn't an ideal spot
for summer theatergoing anyway.
People fanned themselves with their
programs in the warm, still air as the
tragedy galloped past-this is a cut-
down version of "Hamlet" that
:comes in at 2 hours and 15 minutes,
and what you lose in texture you
certainly gain in vigorous storytell-
ing. Its other virtues aside, "Hamlet"
is one hell of a melodrama, and
there's a certain pleasure in seeing

fore.
Director Ralph Alan Cohen has
done something fascinating in his cut-
ting: He's followed the scene order of
the First Quarto, the earliest of the
three extant contemporary printed
texts of "Hamlet." For a number of
reasons this is known as the "Bad
Quarto" and is generally shunned by
scholars and producers alike. Howev-
er, the First Quarto seems to have
been put together from actors' mem-
ories for a pirated publication, and
there's always been a body of opinion
that holds that the scene order may
be nearer to what was actually per-
formed than are the other two con-
temporary publications of the text.
What this most importantly meansis that in this production "To be or
not to be" comes in a different place
than usual. Part of the mystery of
Hamlet's existential dilemma is that
for some reason he is wandering
around thinking of suicide right after
he's launched his plan to prove Clau-
dius guilty by showing him a play
that echoes Claudius's murder of
Hamlet's father. In the First Quarto,
"To be or not to be" is encountered
the first time we see Hamlet after
his scene with his father's ghost. He
broods on suicide and action, puts on
a show of madness to berate Ophe-
lia, and ironically receives Rosen-
crantz and Guildenstern-who tell
him of the approaching actors and
thus put a plan into his mind. It's as-
tonishing how much narrative pow-
er-how much narrative sense-
"Hamlet" gains when it unfolds in
this order.
Otherwise, the production is ex-
tremely well intentioned but funda-
mentally inadequate. Some of thevoices are shrilly unfit for stage
speaking, particularly in verse. Some
of the acting is self-conscious and
hammy; other performances are
merely flat. As Hamlet, Thadd
McQuade has some interesting mo-
ments; so does Hep Jamieson as his
mother, Gertrude. And Michelle
Powers is the first Ophelia I've seen
who actually cares more about Ham-
let than her own wounded feelings.
But this is not a successful evening.
