<p><strong>ABOUT THE BUGHOUSE SQUARE DEBATES</strong></p>
<p>Bughouse Square (from “bughouse,” slang for mental health facility), the  popular name for Washington Square Park, was the city’s boisterous and  radical free-speech space from the 1910s through the 1930s. Orators  mounted soapboxes and spoke to responsive, vocal crowds, and bohemians,  poets, atheists, and religionists of all persuasions entertained  bystanders. The square’s core contributors, however, came from the ranks  of the Wobblies, men and women of the Industrial Workers of the World  whose radical views, wit, and humor made them champion soap boxers and  perennial crowd favorites. World War II and a post-war crackdown against  socialists and communists, however, led to Bughouse Square’s decline  and, by the mid 1960s, it ceased to exist. The Newberry Library revived  the Bughouse Square Debates in 1986.</p>

</em></strong></em></strong><strong><em>Sherlock Holmes<br />
</em></strong>(Guy Ritchie, 2009, USA, 128 minutes)<br />
Director Guy Ritchie lends  his risqué wit to the other side of law in  this original — though spiritually  faithful — interpretation of Arthur  Conan Doyle&#8217;s eccentric investigator. Robert Downey, Jr., more roguish  than respectable  in the tile role, and co-star Jude Law&#8217;s quietly  charming, no-nonsense Watson  race to stop a serial killer in Victorian  London.</p>
