Although Fleetwood Mac has a troubled history, in the past its difficulties have all been occupational. Starting as a British blues band, its only claim to notoriety was guitarist Peter Green's authorship of Santana's hit "Black Magic Woman." Even an intimacy with witchcraft failed to spirit them to the top of Billboard, so they initiated a personnel change. Upon Green's departure, keyboard player Christine McVie joined the group, but while her marriage to bassist John McVie sailed smoothly, her betrothal to Fleetwood Mac did little to improve their fortunes. Once again the group shifted its roots, this...
...Mark. Dating is intermingled with authorship, and here Robinson proves equally idiosyncratic. Rejecting his former views that many of the books were later reconstructions, he now thinks Peter and Paul, or aides following their instructions, wrote all 15 letters attributed to them, and that John wrote John, James, James, and Jude, Jude. Otherwise, Robinson writes, one must believe in the existence of "totally unrecorded and unremembered figures in early Christianity who have left absolutely no mark except as the supposed authors of much of its greatest literature."

For example, in discussing nutrition, he notes that "sad to say, more organic food is sold than grown." Stressing preventive medicine, which is frequently neglected, he condemns smoking, prescribes liquor only in moderation and cries fowl (as well as fish) to saturated-fat-laden beef...
...Barbra Streisand and her inamorato Jon Peters weighed into the project as Dunne and Didion drifted away. Batteries of writers and directors were exhausted before the present version was put together under-or perhaps around-Director Frank Pierson (The Looking Glass War). Yet, what the serious quarterlies call "the authorship" of A Star Is Born is unclear. Responsibility must surely rest with Streisand and Peters, who kept hold of the creative clout...
...play was published anonymously, the author is believed to be Mrs. Mercy Otis Warren, 47, whose previous work is thought to include three other anonymously published (and unperformed) anti-British satires-The Adulateur (1772), The Defeat (1773) and The Group (1775). Although Mrs. Warren has never publicly claimed authorship of these plays, her reticence may be attributed to feminine modesty. A friend and confidante, Abigail Adams, explains that Mrs. Warren fears that severe satire may be "incompatible with that benevolence which ought always to be predominant in a female character...
