...first appeared as the lusty Greek peasant in the 1964 film, which earned him an Oscar nomination for best actor. Now, 19 years later, Anthony Quinn, 68, is once again playing Zorba, this time in the flesh. Looking a little older and maybe even wiser, Quinn this week opens in a Broadway revival of a 1968 musical version, which originally starred Herschel Bernard!. The intervening years have hardly mellowed the Mexican-born Quinn's old-fashioned machismo. "Men don't know where they are with this women's liberation," he says. "I don't see many...

Last week, on the biggest morning of his life, this pudgy, stoop-shouldered, toothbrush-mustached but magnetic little man bounded out of bed after four hours sleep, soaped his soft flesh with cold water, shaved with cold water, put on his always neat but never smart clothes and braced himself for the third of his encounters with Paul von Beneckendorf und von Hindenburg, Der Reichspräsident...

...education, anyone suspected of murmuring protest, in the bureaucracy, or the universities, or the army, could be sent down. All universities, except for military research centers, were closed, some for three years, some for five, some for a full ten. And, as dogma drove the spike into the flesh of the country, even the revered ancients of the revolution were pushed to death. Li Ta, one of the original founding fathers of the Communist Party of China in 1921, was "struggled" against until he committed suicide. He Long, a Robin Hood peasant bandit who became a marshal...
