...eight generations, she moved to Helsinki when she was 14 to live with her famous young mother, with whom she was collaborating by the time she was 16. These days Kristina's inspiration for her print designs is Finland's breathtaking natural world, along with the sense of magic and fairy tale that runs through Finnish culture. This spring, the company launched her latest work, Metsanvaki (Forest Dwellers), which draws on images of the pine, juniper and birch trees that grow near the back door of that family farm, where Kristina now lives. "The forest is very important...

If there's a magic moment in any of these features, it might be the climax to Two Smart People (1946), where gunzel Elisha Cook, Jr., falls dead off a balcony during Mardi Gras and lands on a firemen's cloth hoop held by the crowd of revelers, who gaily keep bouncing the corpse into...
...Workshop Theater, an off-off Broadway. On the first day they told me I would stage manage a show. They treated me like I knew what I was doing or I was about to figure out very quickly. During that time I also did sound operating for a magic show. It wasn’t a bad way to live. I still haven’t figured all the magic tricks, though.—Roy Cohen
