Gulf states puzzled over U S reluctance to use force
In the Persian Gulf, Arab officials question U S patience as fear grows that war may not occur to oust Iraq from Kuwait.

Head steals scene in Salome as opera singer performs spellbound
Washington Opera uses a lifelike life mask head of Michael Devlin as John the Baptist. The bloody latex head rolls on a platter with eyes rolled back and a glycerin sheen. It requires hours of wig work, makeup, and staged handling between acts. Devlin describes the eerie setup and distraction of his severed likeness during the performance.

Baker says allies 'totally united' in effort to pressure Iraq
Secretary of State James A. Baker III announced success in shoring up the anti Iraq coalition after a week of diplomacy including talks with Francois Mitterrand in Paris. He said the alliance is united and pressure on Saddam Hussein must grow, potentially laying groundwork for force.
