\nOne More Ventriloquist Dummy<\/strong><\/font><\/a>
\nNo. 1 With a Bullet<\/strong><\/font><\/a>

\nTomorrow: Postings on arts and culture.
\nPostscript:<\/strong> Ah well, tomorrow came … and went. Mebbe later.<\/p>\n


\nPPS:<\/strong> Later has come.
\n<\/a>The staff fell down on the job this year. It posted only 160 or so items since last January, and just a fraction had something to do with arts and culture. Tant pis.<\/i> To its everlasting credit, however, the staff did take note of some admired writers, artists, filmmakers and assorted crackpots for work they did, mostly long ago, and for the issues they raised. It was a narrow “some” — William S. Burroughs, Nelson Algren, Norman O. Mustill, Henry Miller, Willy Wyler, Mary Beach, William Osborne, Ernest Hemingway, John Bryan, E.L. Doctorow, William Styron. Other notables were loathed.
