	Preview: 'Gem' is good for those new to playwright August Wilson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		This is the start of August Wilson's "Gem of the Ocean," in order of writing, the ninth installment of his Pittsburgh Cycle of 10 plays set in each decade of the century.
		But "Gem" is set in 1904, so it is also the first of the cycle, the magical portal through which we enter the turbulent world of Wilson's epic imagination.
		For them, the Gem of the Ocean is on the one hand a slave ship bearing their ancestors into bondage, and on the other, the City of Bones, a redemptive vision of the mid-Atlantic graveyard where many of those forebears await resurrection.

		Columbia was conceived to look and feel like a vintage button filler of the Golden Age, to be a true “writer’s pen,” not just collectible eye candy.
		The nib in my personal Columbia is not the standard (excellent) steel nib; it’s a 14K nib that I adapted to the pen, and it is remarkably smooth and adjusted as a M/XF ball point.
		Columbia has spawned several descendants, all in a slightly larger “Maxima” size: Nobile, in Cracked Ice; Atlantica, in Lapis; and the Pentrace.com 2004 Limited Edition, in green swirled marble (shown here).

		That's how it starts in "Gem of the Ocean," August Wilson's robust new drama of questing characters and changing times, set in 1904 when the legacy of slavery was a living memory.
		Although "Gem" is the youngest of the nine plays in one sense, it is obviously the oldest in another, with an old soul personified in the legendary Aunt Ester, wise Christian shaman of the tribe.
		But the City of Bones is a gem of the ocean, too, talisman of a tragic history polished by remembrance.

		Sleek and sturdy, white-hulled Columbia was clearly the fastest boat throughout the elimination trials to pick a defender for the America's Cup.
		Columbia won her deciding race without the help of canny Corny Shields, the 63-year-old grey fox of Long Island Sound, who quit his advisory role to whip her crew into shape and to take the helm himself for the final trials (TIME, Sept. 15).
		Columbia's bow sweeps gracefully into a full-bodied hull—a shape that helps her go swiftly to windward against a running sea.

		"Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean" received an American copyright in 1843 and is credited to the name of David T. Shaw.
		The other thread leads to Stephen Joseph Meany who wrote the poem "Britannia, the Pride of the Ocean," from which, in turn, a'Beckett may have taken his lyrics.
		But, as flag historian Rear Admiral George Preble noted, it would be quite odd for America (landlocked on two sides) to be termed a "gem of the ocean" when Britain was an island and commanded the world's finest Navy.
