Long Shot #2--Three of the pedestrians walk by on the way to the Brattle. One in a heavy wool sweater, one in a black jacket with an upturned collar, one in a windbreaker. Two are men. The pedestrian in the windbreaker is a woman. They are talking about Rebel, though no words can be made out. The pedestrian in the heavy wool sweater looks overhead and sees the jetliner. The other two scan the crowd for familiar faces...
Start with the money. One hundred dollars will buy you one sleeve of a Halston ultrasuede jacket, dinner for two at a Manhattan restaurant or tickets to three conventional Broadway shows. It will also get you into the Royal Shakespeare Company's The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, whose first preview performances last week helped launch the new Broadway season.

Scheduling problems, mostly. Students make large and immediate demands on his time, whereas the writing can always be put off. Further, there are "certain similarities of energies" required of writing and teaching, and he says...
Sitting in his cluttered office tucked away on the third floor of the Center for European Studies, itself a secluded enclave on a quiet residential street four or five blocks from the Science Center, Schama is dressed in stylish New Wave clothes, a fashionable dress leather jacket draped over the back of his chair. His cultured British accent adding, at least to an American ear, an extra touch of grace to his already eloquent speech, Schama speaks of rock music with the same passion with which he discusses academics...
