Matina S. Horner and Mary I. Bunting, respectively, present and past presidents of Radcliffe College, and the founders, former masters and affiliates of the House will record an oral history for the archive. Frazier said, adding that present residents will also document Currier's history in the 1980s by contributing photographs and writings about life at the House and a record of the week's events...
King Arthur, if he existed, probably ruled in the 6th century; tales of his exploits developed, from oral history to moral imperative, over the next thousand years. No visual style could capture his moment with historical accuracy. What is needed-and what Boorman and Production Designer Anthony Pratt deliver -is a ripe and consistent graphic vision. Excalibur is the handsomest film since Terence Malick's Days of Heaven, and is as alive to the subtle textures of earth, water and sky.

...American as any other. There is none of the hyper-moralism (complete with burning tractors and side-show stigmas) that was supposed to be such a feature of Southern Writing. There is none of the harking back to the rural past--for the South has grown, and the oral tradition has given way to a howling one. It is the sound, not of yarns spinning off into the night air, but of men who have chucked the mint julip at their wives and are skyrocketing down the interstate with the top down, their voices drowned out by the rush...
