...thunderation, the first of four in a reported $30 million to $40 million publishing deal, the author plays with a twist of the old good-twin, bad-twin theme. Novelist Thad Beaumont, who lives in Maine (as does King), collided with writer's block a few years ago and rescued his career by writing four novels under the pseudonym of George Stark (just as King has written five novels as Richard Bachman). These tales, unlike Beaumont's, were violent, brutal and very successful. Now Beaumont, writing on his own again, wants to bury Stark...
Texaco grew from one great gusher. In 1901 Joseph Cullinan, a former Standard Oil employee, found black gold on Spindletop Hill, near Beaumont, Texas. The next year he formed the Texas Co., and by 1928 it was operating in all 48 states. Texaco ventured overseas in 1936, when it teamed up with Standard Oil of California to market Middle Eastern oil. It also bought an interest in California Arabian Standard Oil, which held a major concession in Saudi Arabia. That company later became Aramco, a consortium that joined Saudi Arabia and American producers...
...lure instead of a drippy debutante; Ed Lauter as the nastiest newsman; Jack Wallace as a dumb, obsequious but likable cop; Deirdre O'Connell as the doomed hooker; and Jerome Dempsey as a chillingly venal mayor.

Yet what lingers is not the production's fidelity but its brilliant reconsideration...
...Sixty are going up in December at the Art Institute of Chicago. But the real Weston juggernaut opened earlier this month at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art: a sweeping retrospective of 237 prints. Organized by the University of Arizona's Center for Creative Photography and selected by Beaumont Newhall, the gray eminence of photo history, the exhibition will run in San Francisco through Feb. 15, then travel over the next two years to a dozen other cities, including New York, Washington, Los Angeles and Atlanta...
...rely on largely ineffective medications or disfiguring surgery. But Oculinum brought them almost instant relief. Injected into the tissue around the eye, it paralyzed the spasming muscles for as long as three or four months, thereby preventing them from squeezing the lids shut. Mattie Lou Koster, 74, of Beaumont, Texas, had her last injection of Oculinum in May. "It was a miracle," she exclaims, "the thrill of being able to open my eyes. Now I see through slits, when I can see." Other patients who used Oculinum, including some suffering from crossed eyes (strabismus) or muscle spasms of the face...
