Three European Giants Endure Beyond Gloom and Victory
Samuel Beckett died in Paris at 83 on December 23, after a career shaped by disillusionment. Brecht died of a heart attack in East Berlin in 1956 at 58, Sartre passed in Paris at 75 in 1980. The three, tied to the era after World War I, influenced a theater of the absurd, Marxist debates, and existential philosophy, with Beckett and Sartre accepting Nobel prizes while Brecht sought freedom through travel.

Common Cause accused of not promoting real reform
A critical look at Common Cause questions its ethics stance amid 1989 scandals. The piece accuses the group of backing pay raises and self serving rules while failing to push for genuine reform. It contrasts Common Cause with Ralph Nader and mocks the ethics commission’s independence. It argues the group cozies with Beltway power and ignores major issues like the S&L bailout and its cost.
