The cast of “King Arthur” was decked out accordingly, in shining gowns, pantaloons, and vests that were very appropriate for the opera’s 17th-century milieu. The set (designed by Julia E. Rozier...
...first image that comes to mind may well be of a strong-headed writer, blue eyes burning, actively seeking out public attention. But in 1939, according to his two roommates then, Mailer was a shy, 16-year-old freshman at Harvard who dazzled his English teacher with writing about...
