...real answer, at least to me, is the direct answer. "Plays for audiences" are planned for the Harvard Theater because there are no other plays. It is possible for poets to write letters to themselves (though Emily Dickinson, who was perhaps the most private poet who ever wrote, called her poems her letters to the world). It is possible also for painters to paint possible for their agents. It is even possible for novelists to write novels only the initiated can decipher. But a play without a participating audience is simply not a play. The stage, even in its proscenium...
LUNG DISEASE. In addition to an overall increase reported in the breathing disorder known as pulmonary emphysema, an apparently new form has been described in the last few years, said Manhattan's No-belman Dickinson W. Richards. Not yet given a name of its own, it is marked by an apparent wasting away of tissues, resulting in big holes in the lungs (usually the upper lobes). Victims are generally aged 30 to 40, and most have been heavy smokers, but no direct cause-and-effect relationship between smoking and the disease has been shown. Treatment: surgery to remove...
Hoffa's bold-as-brass-knuckles nomination marked the end of the law's patience. Sternly, U.S. District Judge F.

During his final years in the Hermitage, Jackson kept in his bedroom the pistol with which he had killed Charles Dickinson defending Rachel's honor (as well as the bullet in his own chest received in the same duel...
Thought v. Being. Many of the 42 essays are intelligent, imaginative analyses of such literary greats as Emily Dickinson, Poe, T. S. Eliot, Dostoevsky and John Donne. But Tate's concern is with life as well as literature, and his theme is the "deep illness of the modern mind." The villain, says Tate, was French Philosopher Rene Descartes, whose triumphant discovery of at least one ultimate certainty ("I think, therefore I am") is responsible for dividing man against himself by isolating thought from total being. Today's battle is waged "between the dehumanized society of secularism, which imitates...
