...hysteria at the Biennale de Paris, which proclaims itself the "manifestation of the young artists," meaning those under 35. The preoccupation this year was style, for its own sake. Noted in a random walk: a Parisian who signs himself Sibaja has sculpted two prizefighters out of red ice who bleed slowly into buckets under their boxing ring while a tape recorder plays crowd screams. They take a week to die. Minimal sculpture everywhere, reaching even into the Portuguese delegation. Pushbutton and wind-up sculptures break down in a matter of hours. Slides flicker against every flat surface until the bulbs...
...Thank heavens that at last it's beginning to look as though women will be given the opportunity to decide whether or not to bear children. I sometimes wonder how many young girls "in trouble" have gone off to meet an abortionist in some warehouse -sometimes to bleed to death-because of the stupidity of the abortion laws.

Jagger gets down on his knees and thousands of heads crane to see what lewd nasty he's doing, so he takes off his belt, swinging his arms back and smashing it to the stage at the end of each line...
Yovicsin, however, is not enjoying his predicament. "We would like to play one, but we play two because we don't know who is better." he said Saturday. Champi has been number one so far, and played most of the game against B.U., coming out because of a nose bleed...
