...Diamonds Are Forever (Chronicle; 166 pages; $35, $18.95 paper), a beguiling sampler of photos, artworks and writings about the game. The prose excerpts are literary as well as journalistic (Roger Angell, Wilfrid Sheed, John Updike). The illustrations are less familiar: a haunting photo of a sandlot game by Joel Meyerowitz; the charming primitive canvases of Ralph Fasanella; more sophisticated images by such artists as Robert Gwathmey and Claes Oldenburg.

A hymnlike melody subtly alters into a fascist anthem. Leering and strutting and cackling over all is Joel Grey, reprising the performance that won him a Tony and an Oscar, as the emcee luring visitors into a nightclub -- and a nation -- succumbing to political insanity. At these moments, Cabaret seems as daring and relevant as a stage musical...
