...classroom James gained acclaim primarily for the qualities of his personality, rather than for demonstrations of fastidious scholarship. His extraordinary open-mindedness and verve were contagious.

At last it has come to the Square, but neither the Brattle, in its ads, nor Ivy Films, in its lavish spread in the HSA Calendar, bothered to mention Sunday. For the Brattle this amounts merely to bad business, but for Ivy Films it is an act of bad faith. Drasin...
