...receive a Tony nomination in the play Mrs. Patterson (and two more, for the 1978 musical Timbuktu and, in 2000, for The Wild Party); but she didn't become the Broadway magnet she should have been. In the late '50s she had featured roles in The Mark of the Hawk, with Poitier, and St. Louis Blues, with Nat "King" Cole, and the lead in Anna Lucasta, a daring B film with Sammy Davis Jr. She cut a powerful figure in all these films, but they were small pictures that didn't lead to strong roles in Hollywood's top-line...

Che's depiction of guerrilla war tactics is so minutely detailed, it could provide an illuminating education to West Point cadets, or Taliban recruits.

Barack Obama may or may not save the auto industry or the banking system. But he's already a one-man stimulus package for the media (present publication included). Magazines with his face on the cover fly off shelves by the millions. Publishers hawk instant dvds and books. An MSNBC ad invites viewers to "experience the power of change." For one glorious day, Nov. 5, Americans actually wanted to buy a newspaper...
