Kevin, an upwardly mobile family man, is manipulated into an affair
by the glamorous Kitty who then manoeuvres the pliable Kevin into
confessing the affair to his wife. After an acrimonious scene, she
takes the children and leaves. Each of the characters shows their
true persona in revealing monologues, with the dark undertones of
Kitty's real nature only surfacing at the play's climax.2 women, 1

This award winning, cerebral play is set in the future but is very
much for our time. Driven underground by the "greenhouse" effect on
the atmosphere, two people eke out an existence in a wary
partnership. She is a "baby factory;" he is genetically engineered
to be a survivor. Through three scenes we observe their skirmishes,
his denial of her reason for living and their coming to terms with
her sickness. This bleak picture of what man is doing to the earth
has a moving and hopeful ending a baby cries in the darkness.1

The Birds of Shropshire provides the most comprehensive record of
the County's avifauna ever published. Produced by Shropshire
Ornithological Society, the book is based on the results of six
years fieldwork by over 650 different observers who submitted over
333,400 records. These records have been used to produce maps
showing the current distribution of almost 200 different species.
Stunning images of 220 species have been contributed by 21 local
photographers. The book includes an account for each species,
describing its distribution and relative abundance, and the
breeding status where relevant. The current breeding and winter
maps will be compared with those shown in An Atlas of the Breeding
Birds of Shropshire (1992) and with the Shropshire part of the
national An Atlas of the Wintering Birds in Britain and Ireland
(1986). Historical data, and results of specific local studies, are
also incorporated. For many species it will show that massive
changes have occurred in their population and distribution. The
book will shape conservation priorities in the County for the next
20 years.

Special Agent Robin Perez, Federal Bureau of Narcotics, has a
new assignment brings him back to the island where he spent his
teenage years as an army brat. The island, Puerto Rico, has become
springboard in the traffic of narcotics toward the United States.
Times have changed. The criminal unrest is threatening. The island
is not as peaceful as it was when he was a student. More people are
getting caught in the crossfire. There are factions trying to pull
the island toward independence. Law enforcement results are slow.
Robin is at odds with the heads of the Bureau. His previous
assignments caused some hiccups but they know he gets the job done.
He does not believe that keeping the drugs on the island
(containment) is the solution. His plan to purchase of 500 kilos of
cocaine is the opportunity to bring down the source of the drug
distribution. He must go undercover and abandon his identity
assuming a new one as a successful drug dealer. His life will be in
constant danger.
