Nearly all Rosenwald's actors are also excellent, most of them in several different roles, although Tom Yellin, Charles Weinstein, Jomo Schur, Kristen Wiley, and especially Mary Tisco seemed to me to stand out the most. Suki Taylor is a remarkably winning Grusha. Neal Solomon dominates things whenever he's on stage, as the profane and bribe-demanding judge whose tenure is remembered as a brief golden age of justice because he's willing to fine for atheism the rich farmers who don't like miraculous explanations for their provisions' presence in a poor peasant's larder--"I ask Your...
Billy Mitchell and Eddie Rickenbacker and Charles Lindbergh. He died with Wiley Post, a one-eyed fellow Oklahoman who had twice broken the round-the-world speed record. On Aug. 15, 1935, the two were in Alaska on the first leg of a journey to, of all places, Siberia.

During a 1966 teaching stint at the University of California in Berkeley, he met Artists William Allan and William Wiley, still his closest friends. "I liked the independence and quality of their work," he recalls, "and especially how their lives as men and artists were so rich. It instilled in me a sense of what a person and an artist could be." With his wife Judy and their four children...
Died. Dr. George Wiley, 42, black welfare-rights leader who gave up an academic career in organic chemistry for a life of social action; presumed dead by drowning in a boating accident in Chesapeake Bay. Dr. Wiley left Syracuse University to serve as associate national director of CORE from 1964 until 1966, when he resigned to establish the National Welfare Rights Organization.
