...Stalin has not surrendered. He thinks death can be repaired. The Communist youth paper Komsomolskaya Pravda last week gave over a page to eight additional Evtushenko poems, including another anti-Stalinist tirade. By week's end, slightly dazed Russian readers found still another Evtushenko work, this one contributed from Havana, where he is writing the scenario for a movie about Castro's revolution. Couched in the form of a Letter to America, it was a predictable tirade against the U.S. blockade of that "small but courageous island which is becoming a great country." The U.S., charged Evtushenko, first...
...Invalid. The decision to go national underscores Playbill's ambition to become something more than just a theater program with ads. For most of its 78 years, that was all it was. Its creator, a New York printer named Frank V. Strauss, started in 1884 with a one-page flyer, pretentiously titled The New York Dramatic Chronicle, that gave theatergoers little more than the cast, inappropriate ads (CHEW WHITE'S YUCATAN GUM) and, by way of editorial fare, bad jokes ("The hen is not a cheerful fowl: it broods a great deal...

But they were not only blueprints; they were often masterpieces in themselves. Leonardo's Leda (see opposite page) almost bursts out of her paper world; a landscape by Rembrandt sweeps up the eye, leads it to fill in details where the artist left only hints...
...fretful young fop Douglas begins with besotted love notes ("My Own Boy, it is a marvel that those red rose-leaf lips of yours should have been made no less for music of song than for madness of kisses") and reaches its most wretched state in the 87-page De Profundis letter. Here Wilde, having come to terms with remorse, attempted to scourge the consistently childish Douglas into an adult assessment of his own character. The passages of confession are moving and wise; for perhaps the only time in his life, Wilde looked at himself clearly and steadily. He wrote...
