Something went gloriously awry when Elia Kazan staged Tennessee Williams' poetic parable of antique Southern illusions colliding with postwar urban brutishness. The young Marlon Brando made Stanley Kowalski a manifesto for sexual menace that defines American acting to this day. The 1951 film version, with Vivien Leigh as Blanche DuBois, restores equilibrium without neutering Brando--a great play revitalized. It's in a topflight pack of six Williams adaptations that includes chats with surviving co-stars, TIME critic Richard Schickel's Kazan documentary and an early, quirky Brando screen test...
...syllabus—and nothing more. When students do not ask questions of their reading, it offers little intellectual benefit. Whether the text is historical, philosophical or literary—my History and Literature friends might even argue against these distinctions—it deserves close attention. The Communist Manifesto, Graham Greene’s novels, and Descartes’ Meditations are begging to be poked, prodded, turned upside down, and shaken most vigorously.

THURSDAY Peace, land, bread! Bring your pre-frosh to the Seneca’s annual Red Party at the Roxy. $12 in advance; $15 and a copy of the Communist Manifesto at the door.

...With an April by-election looming, voters still don't know where the party stands on important issues?nor do many of its members. That's because efforts to forge internal consensus among diverse factions have left the DPJ manifesto vague and diluted. Ozawa must repackage that platform into clear messages that resonate with voters. Does "tax reform" mean tax increases or more money in taxpayers' pockets? Tell the voters which. People want elected officials who say what they mean and do what they say. Ozawa's recent denunciation of Koizumi's controversial annual visits to Yasukuni Shrine...
...typical route to the top of the New York Times best-seller list takes an author to swank Manhattan publishing luncheons and the morning talk-show circuit. But radio and TV host Tavis Smiley, editor of The Covenant with Black America--a manifesto by prominent African-Americans, including former Surgeon General David Satcher and Princeton professor Cornel West, that will reach No. 1 on next week's nonfiction paperback list--just went to church. Published in February by the small black-owned Third World Press, the Covenant has sold 250,000 copies, many on Smiley's barnstorming tour of African...
