An evening at Villa Montezuma
Wonderful article. Shepard was (is) a fascinating figure. I've gone by his ornate home many times and wondered about it. I've also read somewhere about his singular literary and musical careers. The article does a fantastic job of recreating the historical scene and bringing a Shepard concert and the whole tableau of that far-away epoch to life.— March 19, 2015 3:24 p.m.
The East Coast Sports Industrial Complex was right, the West Coast sucks
Cal hit a wall with about six games to go. Playing as they did earlier, South Florida would probably have not been a problem. Then again, South Florida did go on to defeat Temple.— March 21, 2012 5:19 p.m.
A Great Escape, Part Three
Nail-biter of a tale. Eagerly anticipate the next installment.— March 21, 2012 4:43 p.m.
Unforgettable: A Walk on the Stingaree Side Part 6
Intriguing, captivating series to say the least. It's been interesting to walk around down there and picture some of those long ago (foundational?) situations and capers. In sum, just an excellent read for six installments. The subject matter is fascinating and the author is a master craftsmen. What are the chances of Mr. Smith's historical writings on San Diego reaching print in book form? I'd wager there would be a market for it.— August 27, 2009 9:29 p.m.
Discrepancies Aside
The Allen film is probably every bit as problematic as described, but do "literary" and "writerly" qualities necessarily prevent language from coming to life? About "Cherie," how is Michelle Pfeiffer's acting aside from her mannerly enunciation?— June 27, 2009 10:48 p.m.
Mind and Hand Together
The article is an enviable compound of erudition, concision, and lucidity. It begins with a question, fixes the hook with an image of the Bard at work, lays on lessons in literary and Roman history, and then, with a few well-chosen examples, illuminates how WS worked his transformations. In the process the author practices a bit of alchemy of his own. (He also takes a peg out from under the cranks who rattle on about how the “Man from Stratford could not have written the works of Shakespeare.)— June 21, 2009 9:19 p.m.
All Around You
Wonderful article. It's been a long while since I've read a theater feature as evocative. It certainly makes one contemplate what we have lost with the closing of the Carter. At the same time, it inspires one to get out to see more live drama.— February 22, 2009 8:11 p.m.
