...handle. He heads to a whorehouse in order to rescue a teeny-bopper hooker (superbly played by Jodie Foster) and guns down a pimp and his friends. There is a nice irony that this outburst of extraordinarily gory violence turns an individual who was within a hair-trigger length of being a national horror into a local hero...
Fizzed-Out Schweppigrams. Her maid Dubois (Charlotte Jones) is a les bian built along the lines of a sumo wrestler. When Dubois is not knocking back the gin, she levitates offstage, and there is plaster in her hair to prove it. An other lesbian, Shatov (Elizabeth Laurence), arrives with her girl friend Elizabeth (Wanda Binson) in tow. Two homosexuals enlarge the circle of Mrs. Basil's menage, and the queerest sur prise of all is that, under her cafe-au-lait tan, Elizabeth is black, and her hand is won in interracial marriage by Mrs. Basil's beloved...

The women will room together in pairs-but in barracks alongside the men. Doors will be put on toilet cubicles, and curtains on the showers. Like...
...Kluger strikes off a small Who's Who of black politics, including a remarkable group portrait of the Howard Law School graduates commanded by Thurgood Marshall. The Supreme Court Justice was just a legal strategist then, and a bit of a bon vivant, dashing in tweeds, with wavy hair and eyes as soulful as a bandleader's. Kluger also provides a contrapuntal portrait of John W. Davis, who ran for the Democrats against Calvin Coolidge in 1924. A brilliant lawyer who served as counsel to Eugene Debs, Alger Hiss and Robert Oppenheimer, Davis was also what Kluger calls...
