There are no new August Wilsons. There ain't going to be any neither. Wilson's was an inimitable voice, and you can hear it rolling like a wave in the Broadway revival of Joe Turner's Come and Gone.

The New York Times Magazine, which for some subscribers arrives on Saturdays, had printed an unsolvable crossword.
