...outrageous message her nerve ends are sending to her brain. The major difference between the films is Gere's characterization. Jean-Paul Belmondo played the petty crook as a Bogart clone, sardonic and dour. Gere takes his beat from Jerry Lee Lewis records. He is an instinctive anarchist moving to a wild rock pulse, and such thoughts as he has are supplied by Silver Surfer, the comic-book character. That, in particular, is a superb invention, giving the film a compulsive rhythm that drives out comparisons and forces the audience to judge the film on its own terms...
...next class, students from all four years were invited to cast their lot (although an unidentified anarchist posted fliers in the classroom repeating Upright's original ban on youngsters) and 380 lucky gamblers are now enrolled in the course...
...pretension; in New York City. Educated at Exeter and Yale, Macdonald wrote for FORTUNE from 1929 to 1936. His intellectual life was an odyssey: he was a Trotskyite who opposed World War II and singlehanded ran the pacifist-leftist journal Politics (1944-49).

The immigrant is now 32, the year is 1909, and Anatolian-born Stavros, or Joe Arness, as his American friends call him, has finally saved up enough money to bring his whole...
Fluxus was less a defined art movement than a loose anarchist confederacy, given to ritual gestures of protest against "high" culture. Paik, who was to move to New York in 1964, would play a piano and then topple it over onstage; he would cut a pianist's shirttails to shreds with scissors, or stage a little musical "event" by dragging a violin along the sidewalk on a string, like a scraped and protesting pet. A cellist, Charlotte Moorman, would appear for Paik at a concert and play her instrument with tiny TV sets rigged over her breasts...
