...recycling, which generates an estimated $700 million a year, by selling it to scrap dealers who lately have raised their prices. Last year in Detroit, the price of aluminum leaped from 20 cents to 45 cents per lb. "When they go to the scrapyard," fumes Detroit community activist Pat Bosch, "no questions are asked." For law-abiding citizens already beleaguered by drug- trafficking, arson and the indifference of the city administration, aluminum thievery is the last straw. "They're devastating the city," complains Sophie Sroczynski, who had siding torn from her garage: "It's almost unbearable...
...Brood, Scanners and Videodrome. Heads explode, and monsters issue from the wombs of women. In Cronenberg's masterwork, The Fly, one man wages a heroic, doomed struggle against physical and moral degeneration; his body has a twisted mind of its own. The catalog of punishments seems medieval -- Savonarola meets Bosch -- even as it taps baby boomers' fears of decaying vitality and eviscerated dreams.

Martha Clarke is the hottest figure in New York City's avant-garde theater, bringing an erstwhile dancer's feel for movement and a gift for making startlingly beautiful stage pictures to The Garden of Earthly Delights (1984), based on Hieronymus Bosch's painting, and Vienna: Lusthaus (1986), which suggested the way 19th century romanticism evolved toward 20th century Holocaust.

There was an early link between alchemy, technology and art, since ancient glassblowers and metalworkers were always trying to make base stuff look like gold and silver. Over the centuries, alchemy gave painters, notably Hieronymus Bosch, a rich vein of fantasy to tap, partly because its metaphors of change, duality and syncretism lay close to their own creative processes...
...ruling Dominican Revolutionary Party. Then, without explanation, the counters stopped counting. At that point Majluta suddenly declared himself the victor and demanded that two of the three board members be replaced by alternates for allegedly disqualifying thousands of his supporters. Balaguer and the third-place candidate Juan Bosch promptly protested that the two replacements favored Majluta. Later, Balaguer and Majluta agreed to seek the selection of an entirely new board. At week's end the ballot count was still incomplete, and 6.4 million Dominicans remained in the dark...
