...handle ears, his curly hair and The Naked and the Dead. The first of his 10 novels and more than two dozen other titles, it became a huge best seller. But fame soon turned fickle on him, or maybe vice versa. Mailer was too flighty, impious and vainglorious to fill the role of anointed American writer as the '50s conceived it, so for a while his reputation dimmed. But in the decades that followed, he hit his powerful stride with a new kind of metaphysical journalism and The Armies of the Night, his brilliant, Pulitzer Prize-winning "nonfiction novel" about...
...full-court press to get students to fill out course evaluations has started early this year. But instead of e-mails from celebrity students and faculty, the powers-that-be have decided a bit of re-branding is in order. Last week, the Office of the Registrar flooded the University mail system with cards announcing a new and improved CUE Guide, now known as “The Q.” But the new, vaguely James Bond-ish name for Harvard’s course evaluation guide heralds even bigger changes.

Slusarz’s set design looks like little more than heaps of painted styrofoam (painted to look like rocks) and lashed-together two-by-fours. More importantly, the design frequently strands the show’s cast in an expanse of empty stage. When characters are very far apart, it seems strange that they do not move closer. When they are close, they are swallowed up by all the space around...
...known as "the gift that keeps on giving.") Thanks in part to the technology of the era in which he presided over the country, Clinton generated an unusually large volume of material: an estimated 20 million e-mails, averaging three pages each, plus another 78 million pages, enough to fill something like 36,000 boxes...
