	Not 'Born Yesterday' (January 16, 2004)
		Written by Garson Kanin, the comedic play is a brassy Americanization of the "Pygmalion" tale set in the aftermath of World War II in an exclusive Washington, D.C. hotel suite.
		Aware of the impending reconstruction of America, Kanin sought to examine the dawn of a new civilization.

	A whole new Dawn (January 23, 2004)
		Garson Kanin's "Born Yesterday" must have looked pretty radical when it premiered on Broadway in 1946.
		By 1950, when the George Cukor directed film was released, Kanin's cynically sympathetic musings about the relative merits of Communism had been replaced by a travelogue-style visit to our nation's capital to see the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.
		It's a dated, period comedy, and not even a particularly screwball one at that, whose heroine appears to contemporary eyes to be much smarter than Kanin gave her credit.
