Posen already plays their game like an old hand. A lifelong New Yorker, he has networked more tightly than Kevlar. He went to the same high school as celebrity-loving painter Julian Schnabel's daughters Stella and Lola. Stella is now his stylist--"and my muse," he says. At an art opening, he met Interview magazine editor Ingrid Sischy, possibly the most connected woman in New York City, who in turn introduced him to powerhouse publicist and show producer Ed Filipowski of KCD (clients include Tom Ford and Versace), who agreed to represent Posen for free...
This position, while itself offensively and irresponsibly one-sided and misguided, is also quite disingenuous. “Divestment from military occupation,” a reader might muse, “Well, now, that might sound reasonable.” The reader would do well to examine the list of companies slated by Nakayama, Spelke and their colleagues for divestment, available at the petition website.

But then again, I’ll never know. I don’t have...
...trilogy might seem a daunting task to most authors, but by now Ayckbourn knows his craft inside out. So much so that he has just published a how-to book, The Crafty Art of Playmaking (Faber & Faber). "I don't exclude the muse," he says. "But just letting the inspiration take you is a very risky way to write. You need rules to motor that inspiration." Scholarly in tone, the book provides what he calls 101 "Obvious Rules" for successful writing and directing. Having laid down the law, how well do his own plays follow them? Pretty closely...
