Murder in the Cathedral by T. S. Eliot
Eliot's most famous play, a poetic religious drama based on the murder of Thomas a Becket, was commissioned for the 1935 Canterbury Festival. It used ritualistic devices to dramatize the murder, among them a chorus and a long set-piece sermon delivered by Becket at the climax of the play.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian Houses by Carla Lind
One of the architectural challenges for Frank Lloyd Wright was how to provide moderate-cost houses that were as good as expensive ones. His solution was the Usonian house--a term he coined for the United States of North America. With their horizontal floor-plans, open living spaces, walls of windows, carports, and patios, these houses became models for many houses that now cover the American landscape. Here are a dozen examples of Wright`s Usonian house.

Dedicated Follower of Fashion by Holly Brubach
The clothes and accessories we wear and see every day are more than just topics for the fashion literati: they provide rich clues to our personal identity and popular culture. This collection of 28 incisive essays by noted critic and `fashion anthropologist` Holly Brubach looks at clothing and the fashion industry as barometers of cultural and aesthetic change. In essays published over the past two decades in the New York Times Magazine, the New Yorker and the Atlantic, Brubach reflects on a wide range of subjects, from famous designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Gianni Versace to designer eyeglasses, from the timeless elegance of a Chanel suit to the decline of elegance in the 1990s, and from formal French style to the advent of casual athletic clothing as a fashion uniform. Brubach`s witty commentaries weave connections between fashion and the larger world around us, making this an essential book for fashion insiders as well as anyone interested in popular culture and style.
