...Dream Songs, is one thing: to sublimate your urge for self-projection in the posture you take toward a deliberately irrelevant subject is something else. Berryman is a little like Max Beckmann in his habits of constant self-depiction (which differs from self-revelation in that the latter is usually true), for running through Bradstreet is the image of the twentieth century poet in a tense pose of self-indulgence. But the worst that can be said of the poem is that it errs slightly in the direction of a naive, mannered Romanticism...
Last season, in her showstopper, Barbra was given the run of Manhattan's Bergdorf Goodman. This time, for an opener and attempted topper, she gawked girlishly through the hallowed marble halls of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, singing as a Modigliani lady, now a latter-day Nefertiti, now Marie Antoinette. Later, she serenaded her poodle in French (with subtitles), tromped like a kangaroo on a trampoline, played Tarzan on a trapeze, juxtaposed noses with an anteater and hoofed with a squad of penguins...

First published in 1563, while the temblors of terror were still rolling across Europe, The Actes and Monuments of the Latter Perilous Dayes was the work of John Foxe, an industrious Anglican divine who described two centuries of Protestant persecution in a colossal chronicle that ran to more than 4,000,000 words and was instantly recognized as the first great epic of Protestantism. For more than 300 years, Foxe...
