Like Wolfe, Donald was a southerner transplanted to the world of Yankee intellectuals, and spent his career examining the great divide between north and south. It was a more personal project because, as Donald put it, "Wolfe told my story".

The first was in 1961 for the opening part of his two-volume biography of the abolitionist Charles Sumner, who he presented as a radical whose Republican leadership placed Lincoln in an almost untenable position. Although he twice won the Pulitzer prize, neither award honoured his work on Lincoln. ![]() ![]() ![]() Starting here will alleviate any problems caused by crappy Hollywood renditions that clutter Conan's mental imagery.

Brosnan is first-rate. ![]() ![]() ![]() Pierce Brosnan, leaving frivolous "Remington Steele" roots behind, hangs tough in the central role, that of dashing and determined Ian Dunross, chief executive of Struan and Co., a giant Hong Kong trading firm also known as Noble House. Eric Bercovici's script, smartly done, keeps a tantalizing if not precisely lovable assortment of characters in provocative disarray. Exteriors were shot in Hong Kong and Macao, with additional filming at the De Laurentiis studios in Wilmington, N.C. Like Clavell's "Shogun," telecast in 1980, "Noble House" resonates with exotic atmospherics. Considering the attractiveness of the continuing Winter Olympics on ABC, it's safe to say VCRs were made for nights like these. Once the story gets a good grip on you, and it's a gripping good story, "Noble House" proves hard to turn off. The film airs in four parts, tonight through Wednesday, at 9 on Channel 4. NBC's eight-hour mini-series, from the James Clavell novel set among pooh-bahs and panjandra of contemporary Hong Kong, is a tremendously engrossing good view, the most satisfying fit of lavishness a network has had in years. ![]() |
