...nightly on syndicated reruns. Louis-Dreyfus and Alexander made fun of exactly that situation on recent episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm, the HBO sitcom made by and starring Seinfeld co-creator Larry David. In one scene, Louis-Dreyfus and David, playing themselves, pitch a show called I'm Not Evelyn, about an actress who can't get work because she's pigeonholed as the character she used to play. Louis-Dreyfus, however, has never pursued that sitcom idea in real life. "It's more funny in the context of Curb Your Enthusiasm than it is for a show," she says...
...cliché. Leamer does provide a deeper look at what made Robert and Ted Kennedy tick, going beyond the overemphasis on John Kennedy that is all too frequent in Kennedy family histories. Thanks to access to new information, including papers secretly stored by President Kennedy’s secretary Evelyn Lincoln, Leamer is refreshingly honest about the family’s failures as well as their successes. Looking forward to Volume...
...When Beers was nominated last spring - a lifetime ago - an all-star ad exec looked like just the ticket for a post that has long been a high-level plum akin to an ambassadorship, or a harmless halfway house for political appointees.

...nicer ironies of postcolonial English writing that the most evident heir to that great and fearsome archconservative Evelyn Waugh, who famously despised every civilization that had not been subjugated by Rome, should be from the Caribbean. Naipaul is also one of the very few writers to have a whole, book-length cruise missile of a memoir fired at him by a fellow writer. In 1998 Paul Theroux, in a striking fit of Oedipal peevishness, published Sir Vidia's Shadow, painting his former friend and mentor as a self-obsessed, avaricious, pathologically snobbish brute. Perhaps...
...misleading titles go, “Theatrical Photographs,” by Alix Jeffry, at the Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery has succeeded in a misnomer. Many of the photographs, while delightful, have naught to do with the theatre; Jeffry’s real name was Evelyn Fish and the Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery is little more than the entrance to Pusey Library. That said, it is worth the trip to Harvard’s underground library to see these 70-odd black and white portraits on display...
