  Tuesday, July 31, 2007 Aesthetics for Jesuits Joke The Guardian, July 26, on a work by the late playwright  George Tabori: "... inspired satire, laced with Jewish and Christian polemics, sparkling wit and dazzlingly simple effects. For Golgotha a stagehand brings on three crosses. 'Just two,' says Jay. 'The boy is bringing his own.' Tabori often claimed that the joke was the most perfect literary form."

  Update at noon,
  Sept. 9, 2008:

  Tabori, a Jew from Hungary
  and former screenwriter
  ("No Exit"), died at 93
  on July 23, 2007.
