...this book help me to be clearer in spirit, simpler in thought, greater in love." Unlikely as it may seem, so begin the voluminous diaries of one of modern history's most diabolical figures: Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda for the Third Reich.

Jews, fumed the 26-year-old Goebbels, "suck the blood from our veins. ((They are)) scoundrels, traitors . . . vampires...
...Broadway model: the 1966 and 1986 hit Sweet Charity, dazzlingly restaged for a North American tour by its original creator and re-creator, Bob Fosse.

Falling in love with Mermaids, as many viewers will, is akin to feeding the homeless or adopting an orphan puppy: an act of humane surrender...

Bad's first single, a bonbon called I Just Can't Stop Loving You, was a perfect love ballad for parlous times: sexy but hygienic, passionate but never lustful. Radio programmers grumbled at Epic's choice of a low-profile make-out tune for the album's first single. None of this got in the way of the song, however...
