He always appears in these “hottest people in the world” lists. I taught “Streetcar…” for years and even if my students gasped when he first came on screen, if they didn’t find Stanley Kowalski to be a thoroughly revolting human being by the end — violent, insecure, ignorant, a pig — I would consider my job undone.

FROM BOSNIA TO BENGAL -- The purpose of this blog
Me, I'm Nicholas Bakos, a.k.a. "NikoBako." I'm Greek (Roman really, but when I say that in English some five people in the world today understand what I'm talking about, so I use "Greek" for shorthand). I'm from New York. I live all over the place these days. The rest should become obvious from the blog.
"What I hope this blog accomplishes is to create even the tiniest amount of common consciousness among readers from the parts of the world in question."
