  1. The jarring reality and artful beauty of photography

    I wonder if the curators of the excellent "War/Photography" show at the Annenberg Space for Photography were tempted to include Jeff Wall's "Dead Troops Talk (A Vision After an Ambush of a Red Army Patrol, Near Moqor, Afghanistan, Winter, 1986)". It certainly made a strong impression on Susan Sontag, whose book "Regarding the Pain of Others" ends with a long discussion of a work she considers "exemplary in its thoughtfulness and power."

  2. Letters: Drop the apostrophe?

    <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-britain-apostrophe-20130328%2C0%2C7525227.story">Re "Squiggle sparks a squabble," March 28</a>
    Re "Squiggle sparks a squabble," March 28 Although "squiggle" is not a term I would have used, as I have more than a proprietary interest in the subject, the improper use of the apostrophe is a continuing personal irritant. And as a regular victim of...

  3. Review: Genuine feeling flows through 'Mrs. Warren's Profession'

    Nowadays the very nature of &ldquo;Mrs. Warren&rsquo;s Profession&rdquo; might have gotten her a reality show, but in 1893 censors banned George Bernard Shaw&rsquo;s play about a brothel proprietress &mdash; not for salacious content (it has none), but because of the even more dangerous social hypocrisies it exposed. Among its many strengths the Antaeus Company&rsquo;s superb revival illuminates what continues to shock most about the piece, namely, how little has really changed.

  6. Review: 'Pygmalion' a thorough delight

    SAN DIEGO &mdash; For some theatergoers, George Bernard Shaw's classic 1913 play "Pygmalion" is "My Fair Lady" without the songs and traditional romantic ending. But returning to the source of Frederick Loewe and Alan Jay Lerner's beloved musical reminds us that Shaw's marvelous comedy contains its own music &mdash; an ebullient symphony of wit and wisdom too honest to pander to convention and too amusing for anyone to object.

  12. Critic's Notebook: Presidential debates as theater

    The final presidential debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney takes place Monday evening in Boca Raton, Fla., and if the concluding round is anything like the other two, the theatrical presentation of the candidates will be more closely scrutinized and squabbled over than their platforms and positions.
