...criticism," says Monni Adams, an art historian and archaeologist at Harvard's Peabody Museum, "is that they are exploiting these people by showing their nudity and other unusual characteristics." Adams quickly adds that she doesn't believe the criticism is fair. "Their pictures go far beyond the phenomenon of bare-breasted women," she says. "There's a sense of people's activities, their quality of life...

Political consultant Ed Rollins, in his account, Bare Knuckles and Back Rooms, of Ross Perot's 1992 presidential campaign [BOOK EXCERPT, Aug. 12], still seems not to appreciate how acceptable (and cost-effective) Perot's departure from "normal" campaigning was. And Perot's approach was so in tune with his assaults on wasteful government spending that he appeared to be setting the right example of how to run for President without spending exorbitant sums. Perot's political instincts were probably correct when he refused a Rollins-recommended campaign that would have cost $147 million. In view of Perot's military...

As a DTV icon, Stevens got candle wax dripped on his chest by Tanya Roberts in Night Eyes and got smothered in fruit by Shannon Tweed in Night Eyes 2 ("Nice use of raspberries," notes the invaluable Bare Facts Video Guide, which catalogs nude scenes in R-rated movies).

"The studios increased their output...

...fretting over her childhood is played at varying levels of volume and clarity, is a tribute to the most banal of self-help confessionals, rather than focusing the audience's attention on a little examined sense, the nature of sound. "Interval", on the other hand, strips the audience bare of its expectations of cognition and easy assumptions. A video of a man bathing and one of unidentifiable, feral activities are played in alternating, ever shorter segments. Rather than presenting a narrative puzzle for the audience to work on, the piece becomes more incomprehensible the longer it lasts, forcing the audience...

...here that Tom's character is at last developed. The extremity of his ambitions and envy is demonstrated by his tigerlike eating--at times of tension he is seen devouring a peach in three angry bites, gnashing down a blazing chicken straight from the oven with his bare hands, slicing and gulping down long meaty lengths of sausage. All the while his sculpted good looks, strong cheekbones and short, rumpled hair bring an unnerving purity to his appearance no matter how viscious his crimes. The audience immediately sides with Delon's Tom because though he lives on deceit, he lies...
