Concerning your shameful Scrutiny article of January 15: I wouldn't object to (nor, God forbid, would I read) Georgette Heyer novels (if novel is the word I want) or to their prune-brained simpering advocates if dime-store penny-dreadfuls like The Grand Sophy were not crowding the few remaining REAL books right off the shelves. The basic equation: buy a Gothic and starve a poet; no there is not room for both. The blood is on your hands, Gay Seidman. Harris Collingwood...
...last forever, Marianna-you have a full second." In Tharp time, a second is an eternity. Her dancers are given a lot to do in the space of a beat. In one seemingly continuous motion, swaying hips slink into wiggles that burst into furious pirouettes, then stop on a dime and reverse directions.

Finally, on Aug. 8, Quinn got checks...
Brother Can You Spare A Dime? emerges as a realistic view of American life in the 1930s. But Mora jaundices his collection of Depression-era vignettes by his exaggeration of Hollywood as the focal point of the American consciousness. The film is an expressive view of the matrix of despair, apathy and frivolity that characterized. American 1930s. But the impressionistic documentary is weakened by the obscurity of many of the scenes. Mora has created an imposing cinematic edifice, yet concealed its foundations from his audience...
