...Adlow, after all these years, all these thousands of faces, you have to believe in your eyes. If you did not, you surely could not hand out the sentences; you could not bear the enormity of it. It is difficult to think about the lives of people you must judge, of their whole lives back into childood, into their miserable pimply youth, the cheerless beer, drunk on the streets at 25, a car thief at 13, a rapist at 15, to think of these lives and the enormity of your decision, how the words from your mouth mean a whole...
...Socialist Country. The Russians seemed to go out of their way last week to demonstrate that such contingency plans might well be needed. In a speech in Warsaw, Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev defiantly reasserted the new Soviet doctrine that has come to bear his name. Russia, he said, has the duty and the right to intervene not only in Communist countries like Czechoslovakia that are within the East bloc, but also, for that matter, in "any socialist country" where the forces of imperialism and capitalism and bourgeois revisionism threaten to make a come back. In repeating the justification...
Oldenburg had gone on from plaster to vinyl and canvas. In 1962 he dreamed up monster hamburgers and bed-size pistachio ice-cream cones. Since then he has sketched a myriad of delightful "proposed colossal monuments" for Manhattan, including a giant Teddy bear for Central Park, and a mountainous baked potato for the front of the Plaza Hotel. Conceivably, Manhattan's festival organizers also expected him to whip up the baked potato. Instead, he had the city hire two gravediggers, who dug a 3-ft. by 6-ft. hole in Central Park, then carefully filled it in. He called...
...magnified drainpipe incorporates the notion of a phallus and an elephant's trunk. Cigarettes on a tray look like cannons (he kicked the habit of three packs a day). Oldenburg's proposed colossal monuments were never meant to be built. Who wants a 650-ft. high Teddy bear in Central Park? But they are real nonetheless-they exist in the form of drawings, as "concepts" rather than sculpture...
...limbo. Edelmann's designs are too artistically eclectic, his figures too difficult to animate, to enable an attempt at the fluid control of the Disney method. At the same time, a compromise had to be reached since the stark backgrounds and limited movement of UPA or Hanna-Barbera (Yogi Bear) lack power and potential for complete realization of its creator's imaginative ideas. A strange animal resulted: stylistic form is almost non-existent, the movement of the cartoon figures is executed competently but no better, editing is largely unoriginal, and Edelmann's drawings--the frame content--consequently become everything...
