...KONRAD KUJAU, THE MAN WHO DELIVERED "HITLER'S DIARIES." The menacing photo was of Kujau, 44, an East German emigre and a Stuttgart-based dealer in documents and military memorabilia who sold the diaries to Stern and is suspected of having forged them. The story of his bizarre behavior, and of the Keystone Kops-style thriller that he enacted with the magazine's go-between, Reporter Gerd Heidemann, may have left readers asking how Heidemann, and his free-spending Stern supervisors, could have been fooled by anyone so preposterous. Kujau, who since the 1960s had used the alias...
...generation that learned to take film seriously in the '60s, Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless was nothing less than breathtaking.

It is more than a little ironic that Mr. Test lost his job after years of following a set exam format when he refused to switch to a new two-person system...
...elegant Sheridan masterpiece down pat: the well-considered, well-balanced details of posture and diction and timing give an impression of perfect naturalness to a mode which, in all likelihood, was never natural for anyone. Producing such a stylized work without making it stilted, bringing another age's ideal behavior to life, is always risky. It is also precisely the kind of risky business that a talented, academically alert company like the ART should spend its time...
