Ladies Choice: Clare Boothe Luce and the Nightmare of The Women
On the night of the 1936 Broadway opening of The Women, its author Clare Boothe Luce – her new surname courtesy of her recent, second, marriage to TIME magazine publisher Henry Luce – escaped to the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building. Her first play, Abide With Me, had been a flop, closing after 36 performances the previous year. She had no intention of being in the audience if it happened again. The Women, like Abide With Me, was inspired by her disastrous first marriage to menswear heir and Olympic skater George Tuttle Brokaw. This time around she found the right approach to the subject – scabrous comedy instead of grisly drama – and The Women ran for over 650 performances despite competing on Broadway with John Gielgud's Hamlet, ...

A Clubman's Notes
Les feuilles mortes
Welcome to Part Six in our new audio adaptation of a favourite book among Steyn readers: America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It. Thank you for all your kind comments about my first ever self-narration of this prescient tome. Chris, a New York member of The Mark Steyn Club, writes: I cannot remember if my copy of America Alone had that fantastic review blurb at the top from the Saudi Ambassador 'The arrogance of Mark Steyn knows no bounds'. Only MS would turn that into a rave review. It was the cover designer who put that in, Chris - just as a placeholder until the editor sent him some blurb from Mark Levin or Michelle Malkin or whoever he'd managed to extract one from. But they sent the artwork to me for approval and I liked ...
