	Jack Rosenthal \| Obituaries \| Guardian Unlimited
		Jack Rosenthal, who has died from cancer aged 72, was television's Charles Dickens, inexhaustible, ever inventive, usually scaling the heights, once in a while paddling around in the shallows, but rarely failing to find rich comedy in every walk of life.
		Rosenthal was born in Manchester and educated at Colne grammar school and Sheffield University, where he read English.
		Rosenthal continued to turn out funny and touching scripts, right up to a fresh version of Lucky Jim for ITV in 2003, and was writing until the end.

	All About Jewish Theatre - Award-winning dramatist Jack Rosenthal died aged 72 (1931-2004 )
		Rosenthal himself was busy by then on a script for The System, a Granada anthology series dedicated to the theme of management, or the outwitting of it.
		It was with this show that Rosenthal first essayed the responsibility of producer as well as writer, a dual capacity he also brought to his palpable comedy hit, The Lovers (1970-1971).
		As ever with Jack, everything was worked over and over again and although everyone else thought his work was brilliant he never agreed, believing that he had failed to capture some tiny fleeting characteristic of his subjects.

	Telegraph \| News \| Jack Rosenthal
		Jack Rosenthal, who died on Saturday aged 72, wrote films, plays and a musical, but was best known for his television scripts.
		Rosenthal's prime interest lay in the way people interacted with each other, and in the relationship between individuals and institutions.
		As part of the first generation to write specifically for television, Rosenthal saw that its purpose was to entertain and inform, and not to be elitist.

	Rosenthal, Jack
		Rosenthal learned the craft of writing for the comparatively new medium of television in the 1960s at a time when television drama in Britain (particularly on the BBC) was still dominated by writers schooled in theatrical conventions and over concerned with being taken seriously.
		The strength of Rosenthal's comedy lies in its closeness to tragedy: from another perspective the petty cruelties of the stepmother in The Evacuees could have blighted the lives of the children, but both plot and psychological insight combine to restore harmony and recognize the cruelty as misplaced possessiveness.
		Although the comedy of Jack Rosenthal is invariably rooted in a recognizable social setting which has been carefully researched, the characters are not deeply explored.

	Jack Rosenthal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Jack Morris Rosenthal was born on 8th September 1931 in Manchester.
		Many of Rosenthal's dramas dealt with relationships between the sexes: from the early stirrings of sexual feelings explored in P'tang his focus moved to the other extreme in Wide-Eyed and Legless (1993), a portrayal of the effect on a long-standing married relationship when one of the partners falls seriously ill.
		Rosenthal once recalled: "People do sometimes ring up and ask if I'm Mr Lipman, but I'm totally at ease with that." Recently Maureen Lipman had cut down her theatre work to be able to nurse him.

	Review: By Jack Rosenthal - an Autobiography \| Review \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		Rosenthal's father — his family hailed from Lithuania or Russia, he's not bothered which — was a "schmeerer," sticking together the seams in mackintoshes, and a battered victim of Oswald Mosley's thugs in 1937.
		Rosenthal alludes prophetically to the great shifts in television culture when he notes that Pat Phoenix as the bride-to-be Elsie Tanner received hundreds of wedding presents from viewers in 1967.
		Rosenthal claims that the 1978 show is "a schmaltz-sodden, on-the-nose mess", which is not how I remember it, nor how it sounded on a recent radio programme with Styne's charming score coming up, if not exactly roses (as in his legendary Gypsy), then at least lavender.

	The should-and-must rap sheet. - By Jack Shafer - Slate Magazine
		Back when Jack Rosenthal ran the New York Times editorial page (1986-1992), he barred his editorialists from using the words "should" and "must." As he explained to George magazine's Timothy Noah in 1999, the two imperial directives tended to produce weak editorials that argued by assertion, and he preferred persuasive editorials supported by logic.
		Howell Raines abandoned Rosenthal's dictum when he assumed command of the Times editorial page, and today it's a rare week that the Times doesn't issue several should-and-must proclamations.
		The worst sort of should-and-musting is the generic and modular kind, such as in this foreign-aid lecture by the New York Times insisting that the United States, "as the richest country on earth, must lead" and "must do more to breathe some life into" an aid program.
