...Eddie the child, the streets of New York are a playground. There he cavorts with the lowest of the low, enjoying great sexual satisfaction with bums and bagwomen, while at once mourning the loss of his ideal love, his "Angel Fucker," Elena, whom the rich have spirited away. Thus Limonov hopes to demonstrate the vacuity of American culture; all emigres, not only Eddie, have betrayed their own natures by giving up a homeland where there is at least a little love (though we are never told why this is so) for a place which offers no love, and money...
...Sandinistas and today live in exile. The men are Arturo Cruz, the former junta member and Nicaraguan Ambassador to Washington who quit in November 1981; Alfredo César, who like Cruz was once head of the central bank, and two other former government officials, Leonel Poveda and Angel Navarro. Though they are not affiliated with the anti-Sandinista guerrilla movements and in fact are calling for a "nonviolent" settlement to the fighting, the four have close ties with some factions of the Nicaraguan opposition, including the guerrillas, and might be able to hold out for terms that could...

It seems felicitous that Grant Wood's reviving angel, the art historian who has worked on him for a decade and who curated this fascinating show, should bear the name Wanda Corn. Moreover, the time is ripe. Once again, Americans are bemused by the deflation of their dreams. As it was in the '30s, the ethos that linked virtue...
Names conjured more romance then. Jess Willard was the Pottawatomie Giant. Georges Carpentier was the Orchid Man. Luis Angel Firpo, the Argentine, was the Wild Bull of the Pampas. Those were Dempsey's great foes. Knocked clear through the ropes by Firpo in the second round, Dempsey came back to floor the Wild Bull an eighth, ninth and tenth time...
