The Arts Babble On About The MeToo Movement, But There’s Little Action, Says One Playwright
Katori Hall says change won’t be easy: “That requires a lot of giving up. Giving up your seat to let people sit at the table who haven’t always been allowed to sit … that’s often not on the stage, but where the decisions are made. That’s on the board.

How ‘The Post’ Makes Katherine Graham Less Interesting Than She Really Was
Obviously, it would do that because it’s just a movie, not a life (and not even a biopic), but still: “The real Graham, who survived a poor-little-rich-girl childhood and an abusive marriage, was wracked for most of her life by self-doubt.
