...then something strange happened. A few weeks before retiring, Gollob went to see a performance of Hamlet starring Ralph Fiennes, the Oscar-nominated actor best known for playing an SS officer in Schindler's List. There was something about the production--its pace and precision--that Gollob found "galvanizing." It whetted his appetite for more Shakespeare. He started reading plays and watching PBS videotapes. Before long, his curiosity had grown into a full-blown obsession--and a new way of life, as Gollob explains in his book, Me and Shakespeare: Adventures with the Bard (Doubleday; $26), to be published...
...public's awareness of the brand has more than doubled, and his signature line, "Ich bin drin!" (I'm in!), has become the country's catchall phrase for going online. "I don't know if a Michael Jordan comparison is strong enough," says AOL Germany marketing director Phillipp Schindler. "Boris' sympathy levels are outstanding. He is the German superstar...

A lot of photography, of course, especially ultrasharp f/64 pix of very grand mountains by Ansel Adams...
...show isn't quite as good on icons of craft as one might wish. Its conspectus of ceramics is quite good, but it's weaker in furniture. There is a fine suite of low-slung Modernist furniture in gumwood designed by Rudolph Schindler in the 1930s for his unbuilt Shep House in Los Angeles, and a splendid 1908 sideboard with inlays of fruitwood, ebony and abalone shell by Greene & Greene, those Pasadena masters of the Arts and Crafts style.
