Raquel Welch, actress and ’60s sex symbol dead at 82
I was saddened to hear that Raquel Welch passed away at the age of 82. In One Million Years B.C. Raquel Welch was center stage, the dinosaurs were a backdrop.
The Wild Party
Joseph Moncure March’s “The Set-Up” From Korero Press
Joseph Moncure March is best known for The Wild Party and The Set-Up. In 1999, Art Spiegelman brought back The Wild Party from obscurity with the accompaniment with Spiegelman’s unique art to the narrative poem. It is quite surprising that March’s better-known work, The Set-Up, has been out of print for over 50 years. The Set-Up was made into an award-winning movie with Robert Ryan playing the lead. Unlike the book, Ryan’s portrayal of an older white boxer down on his luck changed the dynamics of the movie. Illustrator Erik Kriek was commissioned by Korero Press to revamp the underworld boxing story.
