	Colleges & Grad Schools - Bel Kaufman Captivates Audience at Marymount Manhattan College
		She repeats the well known expression in playful, dusky tones, and it’s hard to believe that Bel Kaufman, author, teacher, raconteur, is 91.
		Though it’s been a couple of years since her last visit to Marymount and a lot has happened in her life and in the world, what has stayed the same is her joie de vie.
		A magna cum laude graduate of Hunter College, Bel Kaufman went on to win numerous awards for short stories, fiction and nonfiction, and for a moving tribute to her famous Papa, “Memories of My Grandfather,” from which she takes nuggets here and there on this October night.

	Reviews
		In the 1960s, Bel Kaufman's painfully funny retelling of her high school teaching experiences redefined what "stories about teaching" were supposed to be.
		After showing her searing introduction to the privations and abuses of poorly funded education, the story shares her epiphany with every person who read the book—teaching is a joy when one is joyous, regardless of one's surroundings.
		Kaufman helped show a lot of readers (47 printings, at last count) what really keeps teachers in the classroom, and she made the realization a fun and significant one.

		Six million copies and one major motion picture later, the book is still in print, Bel is still radiant at 89 and our schools are still overcrowded, understaffed and falling apart.
		Bel's introduction to New York's public schools came in 1923, the year her family fled revolutionary Russia.
		But the quickness with which she learned English convinced Bel that bilingual education is a crime.

	Neglected Bel Canto Composers
		Instead of ending with the usual solo scene for soprano, as is typical for almost all bel canto operas, its' finale, and dramatic climax is a violent confrontation between Elaisa (La gioconda) and Viscardo (Enzo), which ends with his killing her.
		Of course, many later works were still to display characteristics of bel canto (as does Il giuramento) or to be throwbacks to this earlier era, but the pendulum had begun to swing and, with some exceptions, the prima donna and her final rondo were to become less and less important.
		Another example of the composer's experimentation with form can be seen in the opening scene, where, instead of introducing each, or most, of the principals in separate set pieces, he opens with the usual chorus, gives the tenor and baritone short solos, and concludes with a reprise of a section of the original chorus.

		It's a rare thing to watch a movie that's actually superior to the original novel, but Robert Mulligan's 1967 film of Bel Kaufman's contemporary classic UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE is one of those rare instances.
		Make no mistake, Kaufman's novel is still wonderful, but Mulligan's film, amazingly, manages to capture all of the qualities that made Kaufman's book such a compulsive read, and another strength is in the casting of the film itself.
		Sandy Dennis, one of the '60's most original and exciting performers, was the ideal choice to play the flighty heroine Miss Sylvia Barrett, the naive, but determined young New York City schoolteacher who finds herself constantly at odds with not only her pupils, but the faculty members as well.
