Crossing Over

*KATHRYN GRAYSON, one of film’s greatest female vocalists, star of Show Boat and Kiss Me Kate, passed away in February.


*REMEMBERING HOWARD ZINN by Tom Hayden
A founder of the New Left and former California State Senator, TOM HAYDEN remembers the inviolable integrity, for good and ill, of HOWARD ZINN, one of his early mentors.
