...Danny often jokes that he has had more plays written about him than Abraham Lincoln or Julius Caesar -- six by his count, from Come Blow Your Horn through Broadway Bound -- and older brothers are featured in at least two of Neil's other works. By far the most tender portrait appears in Brighton Beach Memoirs. Zeljko Ivanek, who played the role, recalls learning that Danny wept on seeing the play. Asked why, Danny replied with characteristic bravado and equally characteristic regret, "Because I didn't write...
...emotional resonance. In 1982 The Wrath of Khan brought Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) back from the executive junk heap to conquer both an old nemesis and a mid-life crisis. In 1984 The Search for Spock resurrected Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) for a reunion with Kirk that was tender enough to make a Vulcan almost cry.

But once he was inside the asylum at Saint-Remy, a different and more reflective way of looking at the landscape around him took over. "What I dream of in my best moments," he wrote, "is not so much striking color effects as once more the half-tones...
Lynch orders a beer. He stands behind the men seated at the bar. They comment to one another, but not to Lynch, on the unfolding action on TV. Lynch is silent. He shifts the weight on his tender knees. Finally, he walks over to a table and sits down, his stiff leg protruding into the aisle. He nurses his beer while lost in the game. He leans toward the action, elbows on knees, and looks for things his contemporaries are oblivious to. He smiles every now and then at a comment by Summerall, as if Summerall had missed the point...
