...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...
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. Such happy assimilation: the $9 million structure, which fits into and improves a campus blessed with distinguished buildings, is among Stern's best work. It is Richardsonian (the arches, the churchlike massing) but not slavishly old-fashioned, and the jaunty bits (the eyebrow dormers and the tower) mitigate any neo-Victorian lugubriousness...

...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...
...unbelievably boring," says Evelyn Kusserow, a reporter for Germany's Stern magazine, as she sits in front of a TV in the offices of the Palm Beach Review watching public prosecutor Moira Lasch's performance. Minutes later, a camera crew from the German weekly Der Spiegel wanders in, ostensibly to film a roomful of American journalists watching the televised trial. Little do they know that one of the people they are filming is a fellow countrywoman. Thus the Germans from Der Spiegel have flown thousands of miles to cover the coverage of the trial, and end up with footage...
