...dance of Meg Streeter '79 provides a clear example of the representation of thematic content in highly organized phrases. Her dance starts with a heavy, bound-up feeling shared among the dancers. This is expressed in the first picture by an angular arrangement of the arms, legs and torso...
Cartoons are the laughingstock of journalism; they are not a long-term investment. Put between covers, the illustrations and captions seem prematurely aged and irrelevant. This year three exceptions prove that rule. George Price's angular eccentrics have been celebrated for 45 years; his latest work, Browse at Your Own Risk (Simon & Schuster; 128 pages; $7.95), is aptly titled.

...sense, Saint Laurent has designed the emperor's new clothes. His soft, flowing dresses, characterized by full sleeves and a loose obi caressing the hips, are adaptations of angular Chinese designs. Over these dresses or over satin pants are worn gargantuan wraps-a peplum coat sewn with real gold thread cloth, costing over $200 a meter, or a massive Genghis Khan jacket made of iridescent brocades and lined with fur. Saint Laurent set off his ensembles with high-heeled boots and a variety of hats, including pillbox and coolie styles...
