Talbott

Secretary of State Warren Christopher, a Clinton intimate who headed the transition team, is not leaving his job as Secretary of Defense Les Aspin did, but he is either cutting the job down to size or having that done for him.Two men of considerable stature are taking on parts of it. One is Vice President Al Gore, whose performance in Moscow and in television debate with Ross Perot revealed his solid grasp of foreign affairs. The other is Strobe Talbott, whom Mr. Christopher just promoted to the No. 2 job in the department, deputy secretary.

With a confrontational streak of fire-red in his hair, Eli cannot help but be noticed when he shows up in an Iowa high school, an unwilling transplant from San Francisco, where his father recently died. Even as he draws attention to himself, Eli does not let people in easily, using a defense mechanism of glibness, mixed with snark, to keep them at bay -- starting with his mother. But Eli, the center of Daniel Talbott's affecting play "Slipping," which is receiving its Baltimore premiere from Iron Crow Theatre Company, cannot disguise the fact that he's a romantic at heart.

A chorus of "Sign it! Sign it!" grew louder and stronger as the young audience at a Howard County elementary school urged a slightly reluctant teacher to swear off soda for the next month. The fourth-grade teacher at Talbott Springs Elementary School in Columbia hesitated for just a minute or two before writing her name on a "Soda-Free 30" pledge sheet that read, "Who says resolutions have to wait for the new year?" beneath a time span of Oct. 20 to Nov. 18. "It will be hard," Debra Washington said.

On previous December Sevenths, Thomas Talbott marked the anniversary alongside a group of men who also survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. Yesterday - 67 years after what President Franklin D. Roosevelt called "a date which will live in infamy" - Talbott, 87, was one of just two survivors who made it to a ceremony aboard the Coast Guard cutter Taney in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. As he waited for the program to begin, he sat next to Warren Coligny, also 87. Coligny, who was bundled up and sitting in a wheelchair, has Alzheimer's disease.
