...come-to-the-Lord nights for, barring the Pope, the most popular preacher on this planet. But his stream is not unchanging, every night has not been the same. The sermon he gave Wednesday was a stop too on an intellectual and ethical pilgrimage for Graham, a lifelong journey from what he was to what he will become...
...smaller roles, Richard Grusin and Shirley Wilber also deliver telling, pungent performances. Seen most recently as Zoditch in the A.R.T. production of Journey of the Fifth Horse.

As Young-Bruehl observes, Arendt sustained throughout "500 dense, difficult pages a deep, agonized 'Ach!' before the deeds of infamy she analyzed." The book was an angry, detailed journey over Europe's pitchforked roads to "radical evil": imperialism, racism and antiSemitism...
