  2. On the observed birthday of William Shakespeare, here’s a very personal reflection by the actor Simon Callow.

    He’s one of my favorite actors, but I feel a personal connection because one Sunday morning more than a decade ago, I was in London and spotted him walking briskly toward me. Not wanting to intrude, I wished him “good morning,” with a smile, which he returned.

    Not sure, but I think he was on his way to a special service at the Abbey, as he was headed in that direction.
