Z on TV
I do not watch much of “Top 40” commercial television; however I have come to appreciate David Zurawik’s commentary on the contemporary pop-culture scene on the tube. It is intelligent and informative and keeps me up-to-date without having the dreadful experience of having to watch it.

Linda Collison’s - my Westminster High School Class of 1971 classmate - first novel, Star-Crossed (Knopf; 06) was chosen by the New York Public Library to be among the Books for the Teen Age -- 2007. For more information: http://www.lindacollison.com/
According to published materials:
“The novel was inspired by the three weeks she spent aboard the HM Bark Endeavour, a replica of Captain James Cook's 18th century ship. Linda is a mother and grandmother, and at long last chatelaine of her castle…
“Linda Collison is a jack of all trades and master of none, just as her mother feared she would become.
“Linda has managed to kluge a composite career, making a living as a registered nurse, skydiving instructor, waitress and shoemaker, to name a few of her occupations.
“She has published in a wide and sundry assortment of publications, from literary magazines to Ladies Home Journal.
“In 1992 her life changed dramatically (again!) when she married fellow skydiver Bob Russell. With Bob she wrote two guidebooks, Rocky Mountain Wineries; a travel guide to the wayside vineyards and Colorado Kids; a statewide family outdoor adventure guide (both books by Pruett Publishing.)”

Thornton Niven Wilder was born April 17, 1897, in Madison, Wisconsin.
“This is the way we were: in our growing up and in our marrying and in our living and in our dying.” “Our Town,” Act 1 - Thornton Niven Wilder was born April 17, 1897, in Madison, Wisconsin.
Library of Congress Today in History: April 17
Thornton Niven Wilder was born April 17, 1897, in Madison, Wisconsin. Arguably one of the greatest playwrights of the twentieth century, Wilder is the only writer to win Pulitzer Prizes for both literature and drama.
Son of a U.S. diplomat, Wilder spent part of his childhood in China. After serving in the Coast Guard during World War I, he earned his B.A. at Yale University in 1920. Six years later, his first novel, The Cabala was published. In 1927, The Bridge of San Luis Rey brought commercial success and his first Pulitzer Prize. From 1930 to 1937 he taught at the University of Chicago.
Wilder's dramatic works include the Pulitzer Prize winning plays Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth. Set in fictional Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, Our Town (1938) employs a choric narrator called the "Stage Manager," and a minimalist set to underscore the universality of human experience. The Skin of Our Teeth debuted in 1942 with Frederic March and Talullah Bankhead in the lead roles. The themes are familiar—war, pestilence, economic depression, and fire. Ignoring the limits of time and space, just four main characters and three acts are used to review the history of mankind.
Wilder authored seven novels, three major full-length plays, as well as a variety of shorter works including essays, one-act plays, and scholarly articles. Greatly transformed, his play The Matchmaker became the Broadway and film hit Hello, Dolly!. His last novel, Theophilus North, was published in 1973. Wilder died in his sleep on December 7, 1975.
Wilder is just one of forty-one authors and playwrights photographed by Carl Van Vechten and available in Creative Americans: Portraits by Carl Van Vechten, 1932-1964. Also available is a biography of Van Vechten.
Search the Today in History Archive on writer to find additional features on American authors including pages on Wilder's contemporary F. Scott Fitzgerald and his good friend Gertrude Stein.
See what Wilder's contemporaries such as Orson Welles were doing in the theater. Visit the collection The New Deal Stage: Selections from the Federal Theatre Project. Read four illustrated articles on the project to learn more about innovative theater of the 1930s.

“Is Rand Relevant?”
“Ayn Rand died more than a quarter of a century ago, yet her name appears regularly in discussions of our current economic turmoil. Pundits including Rush Limbaugh and Rick Santelli urge listeners to read her books, and her magnum opus, "Atlas Shrugged," is selling at a faster rate today than at any time during its 51-year history.
“There's a reason. In "Atlas," Rand tells the story of the U.S. economy crumbling under the weight of crushing government interventions and regulations. Meanwhile, blaming greed and the free market, Washington responds with more controls that only deepen the crisis. Sound familiar?”
