On October 25, Division Street closed on Broadway.), Genius and Intemperance ("Glass in hand!" wrote Jack London, "There is magic in the phrase".

Barnaby Conrad, who drank with the best of them, weaves a marvelous tapestry of drinking anecdotes both delightful and dolorous.), New York Repertory Follies (For the last fifteen years, the Vivian Beaumont Theater has been Lincoln Center's black sheep. Now a gifted quartet will try to bring true repertory theater to New York.), The House Next Door (Brooklyn's answer to the repertory dilemma.), John Cage: A Grand Old Radical (John Cage, unmellowed at sixty-eight, has sent audiences out on scavenger hunts, stuck pie plates and vegetables on the piano strings, and orchestrated silence.

Twenty Museums You've Never Heard Of (Billings, Montana? Muskegon, Michigan? Yes, says the author, you'll find some great undiscovered museums there. Patrick D.

More than any other person, she spread dance to the corners of the world.), Margot Fonteyn on Paviova (One great ballerina remembers another.), Mamet in Hollywood ("Call Jerry in Aspen and let's get this thing to work." But that's not the way playwright David Mamat was treated when he found himself writing the screenplay for The Postman Always Rings Twice.), The Infinite Variety of Jane Seymour ("She eats light," says her producer in the television series "East of Eden." And she's bruised all over from playing Mozart's wife in Armadeus.

One of the best in the business is Tony Walton), Heirs to Maxwell Perkins ("Do one on the depression," said editor Andre Schiffrin to Studs Terkel. The result was >i>Hard Times. On the other hand, Jerzy Kosinski prefers that editors leave his manuscripts alone. "It's like the difference," he says, "between making love to someone you love and making love in groups." Kosinski, Terkel and five other Americxan writers talk candidly about their editors.), Herbert list (In his day he was probably Germany's most important photographer.
