Theater groups cancel snows at Lied Center From Staff Reports To perform or not to perform, that was the question. And, unfortunately for Lincolnites, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain will not per form here, canceling their scheduled performances of “Romeo and Juliet” and “Macbeth” on Friday aid Satur day at the Lied Center for Perform ing Arts. Bruce Marquis, executive director of the Lied Center, said the cancella tion was caused by complications in pre-production. As a result, there was not enough time to prepare for the North American tour. Due to the short notice of the can cellation, no replacement event was scheduled. Patrons who have already purchased their tickets may exchange them for a future event on the Lied Center’s 1995-96 schedule, or receive a full refund. Book Reviews - “The Good Life: Newspapering and Other Adventures” Ben Bradlee Simon and Schuster Ben Bradlee, the famous Wash ington Post editor who was a ma jor player in unraveling the Watergate story, has written an in sightful autobiography. His larger-than-life image was suppressed early in the book, when he told of a “mixed-up” young man with “a rather immature emotional and romantic outlook” on the ca reer of journalism, which he wanted to pursue even before en tering Harvard in 1938. Bradlee also noted that he started drinking heavily in college and had alcohol problems several times thereafter. But his problems were not dis cussed after about the first 50 pages, when he dove into a formi dable and “lucky” reporting and editing career. Once hired by the Post, he quickly established himself as a talented go-getter who understood the life of politicians better than most. Unquestionably, the fact that he lived next to and befriended Sen. John F. Kennedy played a signifi cant part in his rapid climb to the top. He periodically corresponded with the Kennedys once John was in the Oval Office, but Jacqueline never spoke to him after the president’s assassination. In explaining the first lady’s am bivalence toward him, Bradlee be lieved Jacqueline thought those in the press were some of the lowest creatures of Washington, and she disliked her husband’s association with some of them. Once promoted to editor, Bradlee was first responsible for standard presidential coverage, but, in 1972, was the man in charge of overseeing the Post’s Watergate coverage. Bradlee put Bob Woodward and Carl Bemstien on the story. And he said he had no regrets in the paper’s aggressive drive to bring down Ri chard Nixon. The press, Bradlee said, did not destroy the Nixon presidency. “First Watergate happened... with out The Washington Post.” Bradlee, who continues in his mid-70s to act as a senior editor of the Post (albeit with a few extra vacations), is a man difficult not to admire. He fulfilled his boyhood goal, he said he’s enjoyed his life enormously and he said he’s not ready to quit anytime soon. Aspiring journalists and politi cal junkies alike will find Bradlee’s volume an informative and enter taining read. If nothing else, it reaffirms that Bradlee’s place in history will re main lodged in the great Watergate fiasco, and his name will forever be linked with Aug. 9, 1974. — Neil Feldman Lecture series brings experts to discuss art From Staff Reports The UNL College of Fine and Per forming Arts has announced the cre ation of the Norman and Jane Geske Lectureship in the History of Arts.
