WASHINGTON - The drug fight in Colombia has turned into an air war in Congress. Although the Senate and the House have agreed to send $1.3 billion in aid to combat drug production in the South American country, lawmakers are fighting over which helicopter to send, the lightweight and venerable Huey or the larger and longer-range Blackhawk. Senators favor sending 60 Hueys, arguing that those transport helicopters are less costly. House members are pushing for 30 Blackhawks, saying they can take small- arms fire and keep on flying.

John Patrick Shanley's "Italian American Reconciliation" is a romantic fable that evokes a feel-good response similar to the author's "Moonstruck." This little story would never warrant the same "bravissimo!" reaction as the hit movie, but Fells Point Corner Theatre's production is sure to warm a few hearts.The plot concerns two men so obsessed with romance they apparently don't bother to work for a living. Instead, Huey spends his time pining away for the wife who divorced him three years ago. And his best friend Aldo appears to have nothing better to do than help him win her back.

Pint-sized and big-mouthed, 8-year-old Huey Freeman is black, angry and has had it up to here with white people.He and his family have just moved from inner-city Chicago into a white suburb and, well, let's just say that the adjustment to a life of big lawns and middle-class living has been a bit rough on Huey and little brother Riley lately."

The truth about Black Panther leader Huey P. Newton probably lies somewhere between two plays staged here, just a few weeks apart.The two are Robert Alexander's scathing indictment, "Servant of the People: The Rise and Fall of Huey P. Newton," currently at Arena Players, and Roger Guenveur Smith's more sympathetic "A Huey P. Newton Story," which played Center Stage's Off Center Festival in late January.Though the timing of these productions is most likely coincidence, choosing Alexander's hard-hitting -- and often violent and profanity-strewn -- script during Black History Month is a daring move on Arena's part.
