...same time, Orwell might have doubted the wisdom of some current policies - the willingness to speckle the Islamic world with American garrisons or award contracts for the reconstruction of wrecked nations to favored companies. His loathing of imperialism was visceral, because he knew, firsthand, what it meant. In the 1920s Orwell had served in the imperial police in Burma, then a British colony, and the experience left him with an almost physical hatred for the behavior - in fact, the very language and look - of the imperialist class. Last week I reread Burmese Days, Orwell's 1934 novel based...
...industry in which few make it--and even fewer make it big--Gelbart has been richly rewarded. His successes include the hit television show M*A*S*H (1972 to 1983), the Oscar-nominated Tootsie (1982) and the Tony Award--winning City of Angels (1989).

"Find me one single human being who bought a car as a result of one of those ads," he implores in the book's first chapter. Stevens knocks the Clio awards and praises the effectiveness of tacky infomercials and "extreme marketing" like personalized...
...Theatre Royal Haymarket, playing the puritanical priest of Brand. "You have to rehearse and play Ibsen at a high temperature or the cake won't rise," says its director, Adrian Noble. "That's an extraordinary strain and amazing challenge for an actor like Ralph." And the ethereal Richardson, Tony Award-winner and daughter of Vanessa Redgrave, essays another marathon role in The Lady from the Sea at the Almeida. (The fourth Ibsen play, Ingmar Bergman's production of Ghosts, had a brief London run at the Barbican in May.) None of these plays is easy for performer or audience, especially...
