...that way. In fact, a lot of it did. But this refraction of reality is not nearly as interesting as it might be. To punch it up a bit, suppose that Roth's fiction was clamorously acclaimed; that his first published volume, Goodbye, Columbus (1959), won the National Book Award and made the author a name to be reckoned with at 27. Implausible, true, but more dramatic than the other version. And what about that happily-ever-after marriage? Maybe it lasted only a few years before plummeting into an acrimonious separation in 1963 that left Roth deep in debt...
...will answer only a part of that question. In deciding the case, New Jersey Superior Court Judge Harvey Sorkow becomes the first judge in the U.S. asked to enforce a surrogate agreement. He could treat the case mainly as a contract dispute, rule that the contract is valid and award the child to the Sterns.

Although Brustein routinely disparages Broadway, some of his productions end up there, including the 1983 Pulitzer prizewinner, 'Night, Mother.

But its main claim to glory is the quality of its work and the actors who have performed...
...commercial success, and neither Merchant nor Ivory seems eager to tamper with the recipe. Merchant, 50, is a hustler who grew up in Bombay, India's film capital. Coming to the U.S. in 1958, he studied business at New York University and made a short, which won an Academy Award nomination. Ivory, 58, is a shy Oregonian who attended film school at the University of Southern California and made a short about Indian miniature paintings. Merchant liked it; they talked, became partners and headed for India...
