...ultimate talking-head festival. The producers of The Class of the 20th Century, a 13-week documentary series debuting this week on the Arts & Entertainment Network, have assembled what seems like every prominent American they could round up (Milton Berle, Isaac Stern, Dr. Jonas Salk, Phil Donahue) and invited them to talk about, well, everything. The idea is to recap the major events of the 20th century through the eyes of people who experienced them. The ostensible purpose: to create a "time capsule" of our era for people of the year 3000. "This is not a history," says host Richard...
...else had. Of course, it wasn't an entirely unknown name. Garrison told me the person had been questioned extensively by Warren Commission investigators, and when I looked him up in the Warren Commission testimony, I found he plays a kind of Rosencrantz-and-Guilden stern-level role in the Warren Report, that of a peripheral figure in a key place: he was a live-in manager and janitor at Jack Ruby's sleazy strip joint, the Carousel Club.

Jews were a rarity at St. Paul's when Robert A.M. Stern was growing up in the 1950s, but today Stern's son is an alumnus of the Wasp citadel in Concord, N.H., and Stern has designed its fine new library.

...meantime, Turner has found in Fonda a companion who comes not only with her own wealth, trophies and fame but also with childhood pains that echo his own: a mother who committed suicide when Jane was 12, a stern taskmaster of a father who left her craving approval, and a loneliness that drove her outdoors. "By necessity, both of us created ourselves and then re-created ourselves a number of times," says Fonda...
