...Corn is Green is a play which Harvard students should see, since many parallels between Evans' burning desire to be admitted to Oxford and our own desires, perhaps long-forgotten, to attend Harvard, can be drawn. The play also makes a pertinent social comment on education and whom it is for--the rich and privileged, undoubtedly, while brilliant and poor students such as Evans must make do with their insecurities and emotional battles. With its supreme cast and relevant social questions, The Corn is Green is truly a production to be seen...
...life and how that entrance brings about revelations (opening up, as it were) and conciliations--between Nathan and Jim, Lily and Sara, Sara and Luke. Aptly enough for a novel about the neglected, Nathan works at the Lost Property office of the London Underground, the repository of the forgotten. Like the objects that pass through Nathan's hands, the characters stand in limbo--existing but unrecognised...
Speaking of womyn, I have not forgotten another option: using "she" and "her" exclusively for all gender-unspecific pronouns. This construction sticks out just as much as, if not more than, the repeated use of "he." But that may be the point. People should call attention to the fact that English is sexist.

The naturalness of Doherty's bratty but earnest characterization helped make the show a hit by the end of its first season (1990-91). There was sudden fame and magazine covers, but it is a time that Doherty remembers less than fondly. Now 27, she wants the world to know that she is not the same person she was when she was regularly written...
...France. Tea at four (or "I'm afraid I grow fractious"), whiskey at six. An interview remains politely impersonal. He has sailed; he studied medicine; he sees great value in the rigorous, hierarchical politeness of the Royal Navy in Aubrey's time. But he admits that he has forgotten some details of his novels 10 or 15 books ago and shares some uncertainties about those to come. Not long ago he was at work on Chapter 3 of the untitled 20th novel, and he remarked, rather direly, "I have to last." Then he reflected that although the new novel...
