  He paused. ''But what if they say they're going to cut off the heads of my children? If it's just me, that's OK, but not my children.

 [Reviewing the play's Broadway premiere for The New York Times, Frank Rich wrote that in] Ma Rainey, ... sends the entire history of black America crashing down upon our heads.

 [Wilson may never see the marquee or sit in the theater that carries his name. Last month, in an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, he announced that he was dying of liver cancer, with three to five months to live. He disclosed it with the type of plainspoken grit one of his heroic characters might admire.] I've lived a blessed life, ... I'm ready.

 [With the cycle done and] Radio Golf ... a war between coffin makers and undertakers, Death taking a holiday, Queen Victoria and the Platters, Benny Goodman and a magic radio.

 All you need in the world is love and laughter. That's all anybody needs. To have love in one hand and laughter in the other.

 American society as a whole has a very short memory. There are a lot of things we don't know or have allowed ourselves to forget.
