Stephanie Kwolek was the unlikely DuPont chemist who invented Kevlar, the miracle fiber that's five times stronger than steel. Her invention has literally been a lifesaver. Kevlar (poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide) is found in many places, including protective gear for police officers and soldiers. And it stops bullets. For instance, Marine Daniel Greenwald was conducting a routine stop at a vehicle checkpoint in Anwar Province, Iraq, when a sniper bullet struck him in the head in 2006.

Tina Landau is having quite a year. She opened two shows on Broadway this season, in itself a remarkable feat. But what makes it extraordinary is that she wrote and directed both. “Floyd Collins” is in previews at Lincoln Center, but the play I really want to talk about is “Redwood.” It is the most positive Jewish play in decades. “Parade,” “Prayers for the French Republic,” “Leopoldstadt,” even “Fiddler on the Roof” are rooted in antisemitism.

“The World Will Tremble” is the name of a new motion picture. Unfortunately, that isn’t what happened. It didn’t. “The World Will Tremble” is about the first escape from Chelmno, in Poland. It was the earliest Nazi death camp; prisoners were herded into gas vans, hoses were connected from the trail pipe to the truck, and people were asphyxiated, 50 or 60 of them at a time. Eventually, of course, the Nazis became far more efficient.

I don’t know of whom I’m more jealous, Lorne Michaels or Susan Morrison. The latter’s “Lorne” is one of the best biographies I’ve ever read. It’s as though she videotaped his life and the lives of everyone he’s ever spoken to, edited out all the boring parts and left us a book rich in details and anecdotes. kAmw6C 249:6G6>6?E :D 2== E96 >@C6 C6>2C<23=6 3642FD6 |:4926=D 2?5 9:D “$2EFC52J }:89E {:G6” 2=C625J 2C6 C62D@?23=J H6== <?@H?[ 3FE 6G6?
