From Modernism to the Movies
Commentary
At an early moment in Edward Albee's wrenching play, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf ?, George – a “bog” in the history department – encounters the future in the person of Nick, a young biologist.

For some, American finally took seriously its founding commitments to freedom and equality in the 1960s. For others, the cultural…

Much has been written about the influence of McDonald's or about the "Coca-colonization" of the world, but in Not Like Us, the eminent his…
