...CONTEMPORARY SOVIET AND AMERICAN PAINTERS, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. A double first: an unprecedented joint showcase of younger artists (including Americans David Salle, Donald Sultan and Ross Bleckner) and the first exhibition ever organized to tour museums in both countries. Through...
...Carol Burnett Show writers, or just one of the Zucker brothers (whose movie Airplane! was a funnier and more freewheeling spoof), might have turned Fresno into the definitive takeoff it aspires to be.

When she pleads for her daughter's life, she reveals a tenacity and a tenderness that banish all curses and shame all crimes...
