 | Camino Real by Tennessee Williams

With characters like Don Quixote, Casanova, Camille and Byron, this place is invaded by Kilroy, an all-American kid who resists being subjugated into despair like the rest of them.

 | Casa California by David Gebhard, Elizabeth McMillan, Melba Levick
This book showcases Southern California's most historically significant and beautifully preserved Spanish-revival houses of this century. Twenty-one private homes built between 1922 and 1991 are featured in stunning color photography that captures exterior and interior architectural details, Spanish and Mexican antique furnishings and folk art, and lush landscaping and tiled fountains. Among these are the Adamson House in Malibu, with its extraordinary collection of custom tile from Malibu Potteries; the contemporary Greenberg House in Brentwood, by Ricardo Legorreta; The Andalusia Courtyard Apartments in Hollywood; and Casa Pacifica, the former home of Richard Nixon, overlooking the ocean in San Clemente. Brief narratives highlight the history of each building and its design sources, while the introduction traces historical and cultural influences on the Spanish-revival movement in California.

 | A List by Jay Carr
Best of lists in film are as ubiquitous as shopping lists, and usually arrive to the shouts of those decrying certain omissions, and the others bellowing about one or another pick's inclusion. The National Society of Film Critics weighs in with their own canon-fetish, a list of the 100 films necessary to have seen to appreciate the art of the cinema. Each title is accompanied by a short essay by one of the many critics in the Society. Included are THE BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN, introduced by Roger Ebert; NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, introduced by Kevin Thomas; Bruce Lee's ENTER THE DRAGON, introduced by Michael Sragow; and JAILHOUSE ROCK, with an introduction by Carrie Rickey.
