March 18 - Run for the Books


Suspect composition of page 2 Psalm 50, another 15 seconds of Camino Real: Block 2 video (at 4'45" this is getting ridiculous), and a yet-again zip to the


library for Harriet (like clockwork from last week, just as "will close in 20 minutes" announcement is made).


Another set of surprises borrowed --


Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night (1956 / 1973),


Look Back in Anger (1959 and


1989 after the 1953 play by John Osborne),


The Lost Boys (1978, re J.M. Barrie, whose Peter Pan character first appeared in 1902),


Love in the Time of Cholera (Gabriel Garcia Marquez, 1985 / 2007),


Love is a Many-Splendored Thing (Han Suyin [Elizabeth Comber], 1952 / 1955),


 Luther (again by Osborne, 1973, from the 1961 play),


M Butterfly (David Henry Hwang, 1988 / 1993),


The Maids (Jean Genet, 1947 / 1974),


Mansfield Park (Jane Austen, 1814 / 2009),


The Man with Two Faces (1934), and


Marked Woman (1937) -- then

and begin to update Edward Strickland's Philip Glass Grove Online article.  Takes a while to find, but the updating proves easier -- now all that remains is to add info on the last 10 year's of Glass's music in the text and works list... will probably start with the latter and move to the former, both next week.  Meanwhile, Alex, Willie, and Erling check in positively re the aritcles.  Alex does a fine bit of rewrite, but a bit too long, nevertheless Charles Hiroshi Garrett proves positive in acceptance and in further editorial skill, making a third article ready for the Oxford editorial process (proceeded by American Baroque and Mona Lyn Reese), so everything is moving at a reasonable fashion towards the April 1 deadlines.
