Pearl Buck, 74, is the most durable of a class of doughty women writers-also including Edna Ferber and Faith Baldwin-who flourished in the '20s and '30s, weathered the '40s, and have been losing much of their audience ever since. They appealed to women who had got the vote and, later, the household appliances that set them free to ponder Womanhood. What they wanted to hear was how tough it all had been, and no one told them more relentlessly than Author Buck, who, in her 32 novels and obsessive memoir writing, has ennobled the distaff...
...Stained Pants. Miller's ordeal began two days after the brutal crime incensed Canton on a Saturday afternoon in November 1955.

Her performance is direct and unself-conscious, the only fully realized characterization in the show. Ann Thompson's Abigail is not far behind. As the girl responsible for the persecution, she controls her voice and body carefuly, conveying perfectly Abigail's mental instability, without overstatement. As a result, her performance is never predictable, her hysterical fits...
...people ever heard of Liberator, a monthly magazine aimed at black nationalists, until Writer James Baldwin and Actor Ossie Davis gave it some recent notoriety. Both resigned from the staff with a blast at Editor Daniel Watts. "I think it is immoral," said Baldwin, "to blame Harlem on the Jew." Said Davis: "This is where...
