Every Man in His Humour $14.95 Like all of Jonson’’s city comedies, this play – here given in the 1616 Folio version, in which Jonson rewrote and set it in England, not Italy – is a kind of dramatised Do-It-Yourself kit on how to bluff one’’s way in Elizabethan London. Although Roman New Comedy, in which a crafty slave helps a wild youngster to marry the girl of his choice against his father’’s wishes, supplies Jonson with his basic plot, the world that he presents here is thoroughly contemporary and mundane. The characters” ”humours” – their driving obsessions – may vary, but all of them strive to represent something greater, nobler, cleverer than their real selves. The joke of the play, this editor suggests, is ”finally on all of us who unconsciously equate the universe with a story in which we play the hero”.

In a foreshadowing of today’s American Idol instant-celebrity machine, international superstar Gloria Trevi and her producer-boyfriend Sergio Andrade started a first-of-its-kind talent school for young girls in search of their own chance at the big time. Recruited from the most fervent fans at Gloria’s sold-out concerts, teenagers from across Latin America began showing up at her house in Mexico City. Their numbers grew along with Gloria’s fame, as hit record followed hit record and Gloria became one of Latin America’s top TV and movie attractions. But after a fewyears, bizarre rumors slowly began to spread that the school was actually a front for a sex-slave operation, which tortured and brainwashed the very girls who, more than anything, wanted to be just like their idol, Gloria Trevi. But how could this happen — and with the world watching? Was Gloria Trevi involved, or was she simply at the mercy of her brilliant manager? In the first-ever level-headed look at this scandalous story, award-winning journalist Christopher McDougall recounts how Gloria Trevi went from obscurity to world fame to eluding authorities for two years, before her final discovery and capture in Brazil. In what is considered the oddest twist to an already convoluted tale, Trevi found herself mysteriously pregnant in prison, prompting allegations by Brazilian authorities of an impregnation scheme involving Trevi and a notorious Brazilian gangster.

Gloria has since been extradited to her native Mexico, where she is currently awaiting what is sure to be that country’s trial of the century. Through exclusive behind-bars in
