...when party pollster Mark Mellman, who does not work for Senator Clinton, asked a focus group of 10 African-American women to name their all-time political hero, eight picked Hillary, he says. But the Clinton opposition is at least as ardent. Hillary has already figured as Lady Macbeth in enough volumes to fill a bookmobile, and in the next year the publishing industry will be adding to the collection with such titles as Liberal Fascism: The Totalitarian Temptation from Mussolini to Hillary Clinton and Whitewash: How the News Media Are Paving Hillary Clinton's Path to the Presidency...

...like Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. "There are 'ghosts' on the walls," says Nouvel. "These are the ancestors of the place." Nouvel has a shaved head and a bearish silhouette. When he pads around the theater, talking about ghosts and ancestors, he makes you think of Telly Savalas playing Macbeth, or he would if Savalas had been somebody who could use a word like polysemous to explain those electronic chimneys. (That means they have more than one meaning.) While anyone who can come up with polysemous speaks perfectly competent English, Nouvel's is a bit idiosyncratic. As he indicates...

(That means they have more than one meaning.) While anyone who can come up with polysemous speaks perfectly competent English, Nouvel's is a bit idiosyncratic. As he indicates a large window that looks over the river, he says, "We want to keep it open so you can feel the noise...

...seriously, how does an actor escape being buried alive? Grammer's non-Frasier forays to date have ranged from the unspectacular (Down Periscope) to--well, his Macbeth on Broadway closed after 10 performances. So he has buried himself anew, this time in fake ears, fake teeth, six hairpieces and lots and lots of blue makeup. This summer he becomes Beast, a hairy, brainy, inwardly tortured mutant scientist in X-Men: The Last Stand. To borrow Beast's signature exclamation: Oh, my stars and garters...

Shakespeare's Staying Power Your story on the booming business in all things Shakespearean made me laugh [March 27]. Two weeks ago, I saw a performance of Macbeth in which all of the roles were played by men. What made it even odder was that they were all totally nude from the first to the last second of the play. Well, sometimes Macbeth had a cardboard crown on his head, and occasionally Lady Macbeth wore a very long wig, but that was all.
