...surprised that part of the article seemed to be a propaganda tool for Turkey to claim ownership. There was no ancient Turkey, and the ancestors of the modern-day Turks did not inhabit the Turkish coast, also known as Asia Minor, in ancient times. So do these artifacts truly belong to the Turkish nation? German and Turkish claims on the Trojan antiquities certainly ring hollow, particularly when you consider that the frieze of the Parthenon and other sculptures taken from the Acropolis in Athens, the crowning symbol of the birth of democracy, still reside as part of the controversial Elgin...
However, a book like The Future of the Race may be an example of a kind of cashing in that has unfortunate repercussions. While both essays would well belong in a compilation of original essays, marketing them as a book with a title that is both deceptive and weighty for a book that is half reprinted essays, is an example of using words like race to sell books. The unfortunate consequence of this could be a discrediting of their reputations and a numbing to more important racial discourses (that both men have themselves written).

Ah, well, nothing lasts forever. Shepard's 1979 Pulitzer-prizewinning Buried Child will open April 30 on Broadway. "The play was never designed for Broadway," says Shepard. "It started in a 95-seat theater in San Francisco." But under the direction of another sometime film star, Gary Sinise, things changed. "It's a lot clearer now," the playwright says. "And the humor has been brought out." Fans of Shepard...
