...Heineman's reference to James Bond as stuffy is surely a classic case of the pot calling the gold brick black. Would he wheel a naked maiden around to catch a knife thrust meant for him? Would he, ensconced in the sack with a pajama topped blonde, refuse to meet his boss because "something big's just come up?"

And then the fun begins: curses and shattered glass, bonfires and blazing auto mobiles, looted snack bars, shredded books, perhaps even an American woman to kick...
Only the Forever, and Forever and Forever Without End, on which he has worked for 21 years, he selected each brick from a yard in Aurora, added a baby shoe lovingly plucked from an ash heap in Warrenville, and topped it off with a corset that belonged to his mother. One still life required him to keep fish in the freezer for three months, taking them out for three hours a day. "As soon as they began to thaw, I would stick them back in the freezer," he explains. Title of this work? Ah God, Herrings, Buoys, the Glittering...
