...East Berlin's once genteel Pankow district, the lovely stucco house at Am Iderfenngraben 23 looks decidedly out of place. The wrought-iron gate is freshly painted; the clay roof shingles gleam in the afternoon sun. Rudolf Musch, a construction engineer, has spent most of his savings renovating the 1920s home since his family moved in eleven years ago. But the Musches, who pay $92 a month in rent for their 1,658-sq.-ft. space, may soon find themselves on the street. Hilmar Schneider, the owner of the house, who left the East in 1961 and lives in Kiel...
FURTHER MO'. In this sprightly off-Broadway sequel to One Mo' Time, written and directed by Vernel Bagneris, long-legged, loose-jointed Papa Du (Bagneris) leads his squabbling trio of red-hot mamas through a re-creation of black vaudeville in the 1920s.

Montparnasse reached its height during the 1920s, when Hemingway used to sit and write stories in the Closerie des Lilas, which had been a lilac-shaded country tavern during the 17th century. Hemingway complained bitterly when the management tried to attract a younger clientele by tarting up the bar and ordering all the waiters to shave off their mustaches. The Closerie is once again cozily moribund...
...will never formally end as long as there are millions of them out there with lots of money. I think the important point is that with the Supreme Court victory Edwards v. Aguillard, we destroyed the strategy that has been their focal point since the 1920s, namely the attempt to force legislatively the mandated teaching of this oxymoronic creation science of theirs in the classroom...
