...counterthrust, the sharp criticism of women's roles in society. Consider a typical Coward "life-line": "If there's one thing in the world that infuriates me, it's sheer wanton stubbornness. I should like to cut off your head with a meat axe." Without Jan Lewis's acid-coated delivery and Hutson's wry cool on stage, Coward's play would never escape the quagmire it so richly deserves. Mark Swiney, Carla Dragoni, and Patsy Culbert portray brilliantly the assorted pathologies of organic brain damage, a chronic symptom of Coward's background characters...
About this time, he got into drugs. Not acid or mesc, but a lot of dope smoking. It made it easier to get through the day, and made it easier to put up with the people he had to confront. Whenever he smoked, it became clear that the world was divided into two camps. Some were for him and some were against. But at least it was clear.

Gris responded best to objects, whether mask or tool, vessel or furniture, which were artifacts already. He dealt with them as signs rather than as Investigations of reality. Even a painting like Violin and Guitar, whose hot crimsons and acid stripes of green wall paper go far beyond the sober grays and ochres that Gris normally favored, tells us nothing of any significance about the nature of musical instruments; nor can it be said to push the analysis of form as far as Picasso or Braque were taking it at that time. But it is a marvelously controlled arrangement: frozen...
...almost certainly does no harm to most people. New studies link drinking to heart-muscle damage and deterioration of the brain. Research by Dr. Ernest Noble of the University of California at Irvine shows that alcohol inhibits the ability of the brain cells to manufacture proteins and ribonucleic acid (RNA), which some researchers believe play a role in learning and memory storage. After 20 or 30 years, says Dr. Noble, two or three drinks a night on an empty stomach may impair a person's learning ability. Both Stokes and Noble cite studies showing premature and irreversible destruction...
