...fact, if all the Coop did was replace the starchy white shirts and gray Woolrich sweaters with shelves and shelves of books, we would be happy. But the Coop bookstore, operated on a day-to-day basis by Barnes & Noble under Coop management, has made other improvements as well. First, the book building is now open until 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday, convenient for late-night bookworms. Second, the bright cafe on the second floor offers an ample number of tables for eating, reading or chatting with friends or TFs. Third, like other Barnes & Nobles, the Coop now offers decent...
Hitchcock's film, written by John Michael Hayes and adapted from the short story by Cornell Woolrich, intertwines a murder mystery and the voyeuristic antic of an incapacitated photographer, with a feud of the sexes. Lisa Carol Freemont, the most eligible Park avenue princess, is in love with said photographer and is trying to convince him to take the next step in any wholesome '50's relationship, marriage. Grace Kelly and James Stewart are inimitable in the respective roles. Kelly, with the finesse, polish and beauty which is her trademark, jousts incredibly well with the curmudgeonly, witty Stewart, whose character...
Every Hitchcock film has an unexpected twist. But last week the master of suspense's Rear Window was the subject of a legal surprise. In a 6-to-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the 1983 rerelease of the 1954 classic infringed the copyright of the Cornell Woolrich story, It Had to Be Murder, on which the movie was based.

America, in all its promise and excess, has long intoxicated the French. Truffaut's achievement was to reconcile, with a uniquely canny buoyancy, the polar tugs of these two cultures. Six of the 21 features he directed were based on works by American writers, from Cornell Woolrich (The Bride Wore Black) to Henry James (The Green Room), yet they were unmistakably French in atmosphere and obsessions. In Truffaut's pantheon of directors, Hitchcock rubbed shoulders with Jean Renoir, and his own films sizzled with the tension between Hitchcock's manipulative elegance and Renoir's sharp-eyed...
...Christian Boys' Brigade was outraged. The British Scouts Association bristled. Minds were boggled, said London's Daily Telegraph, "in every Anglican home." The cause of the outcry was a speech by Dr. John Robinson, formerly the Anglican Bishop of Woolrich. The age of consent in sexual relations, he said, should be lowered from 16 to 14. The change, the bishop argued, would make teen-agers more rather than less responsible for their actions, and it would facilitate counseling by removing the onus of criminality. Robinson seemed unperturbed by the fuss over his speech. As the author...
