He, too, is fascinated by mirrors, particularly the fold-out, floor-length mirror in the Loeb costume loft which he slowly swings around, hypnotized by the multiple possibilities of his own image...
...Outskirts. A baby-faced bantamweight of 31, Rawls prepped in the choir loft of the Greater Mount Olive Baptist Church on Chicago's South Side. In 1959, he began scuffling around the chitlin circuit, patrolling the outskirts of success with a series of recordings that at various times labeled him as a jazz, pop, gospel and even folk singer. Then, early last year, he decided to dish up some good old chitlin-style singing and sweet-talking.

It was the literary find of the century: thousands of Boswell's letters, notes for the Life and drafts of it in his own hand, above all the manuscript of his masterpiece-the voluminous journal he kept for 35 years. Published in seven installments between 1950 and 1963, the Journal (which sold 2,500,000 copies) dramatically transformed...
