...college, was named artistic director of the National Playwrights Conference in 1968, and in 1979 was appointed dean of the Yale School of Drama. Richards was an unknown director in 1959 when he staged the first Broadway production of Lorraine Hansberry's groundbreaking play A Raisin in the Sun. An inspiring drama teacher and cultivator of young talent, he championed such young playwrights as Wendy Wasserstein, David Henry Hwang and, most famously, August Wilson, with whom he collaborated for 15 years. Richards won a Tony award for directing Wilson's Fences in 1987 and received a National Medal of Arts...

The Martins have ransacked the Beatles library for alternate versions of songs: John's early take of "Strawberry Fields," for example, slimmer in production values but more haunting.

It recalls the best routine in La Nouba and is pretty fabulous...

When war came he resigned from his Washington desk job and formed a volunteer group of polo players and Western cowboys, including Native Americans, who became known as TR's "Rough Riders". Their great moment in the sun came in the Battle of San Juan Heights. (It wasn't actually San Juan Hill they charged up.) In typical TR fashion, he brought with him two men toting a tripod and camera, who filmed the invasion. And other journalists reported the heroic exploits of the Rough Riders who helped...
...Irish designer Clodagh, even feature personal music systems (and to ensure that your relaxation is uninterrupted, air-conditioning units have been sound insulated and all spa telephones are located in a soundproof room).
