...Gaghan, 40, got such latitude is a tribute to the virtues of failure. In his teens and 20s, he had a serious drug problem that led to more than a dozen arrests. On his way to sobriety, he became perhaps the only writer in history to be rejected by both Baywatch Nights and Red Shoe Diaries before landing a job on NYPD Blue under celebrated writer guru David Milch. But struggling for years imbued him with an uncommon sense of purpose. After winning an Oscar for Traffic in 2001, Gaghan turned down seven-figure offers to write the fourth Indiana...

He’s got some funny lines and introduces the novel idea of using a sandwich bag in lieu of a condom, but for the most part, you just want to back away slowly in the likelihood he has scabies.All...
...Aleph Sanctury (1963-71) by German-born Mati Klarwein, painted panels crawling with multicolored figures form a small room that glows like stained glass. Richard Lindner, a genuine product of '20s Germany whose style influenced the animated Beatles film Yellow Submarine (1968), is represented by one oil painting of a striped-jerseyed rock star with a guitar against a sunburst (Rock-Rock...
