...brilliant gold beeches, scarlet oaks and russet maples splashed their color against a green pine background as Virginia last week gloried in its autumn. Near Warrenton, the horn rang clear in the crisp dawn to summon pink-coated hunters. In the sandy jack-pine country near the North Carolina line, warehouses bulged with the Bright Tobacco that enriched Virginia by $84 million last year. In southside Virginia, below Richmond, jets of ocher-colored steam spewed from National Aniline's new, modernistic chemical plant. In Williamsburg, tourists moved quietly, reverently, through shrines that attest to Virginia's historic leadership...
From Fogg to Moscow, Van Gogh's paintings were sought and photographed. The camera could not adequately show his thick daubs of paint, but it does capture his magnificent coloring, including the electric yellows with which he described a world he thought illuminated by the brilliant light of God and His sun. Cinemascope and Metrocolor are also superbly used to recreate the scenes of his paintings. They trace his life from the family home in Holland to Borinage coal district in Belgium, where he served as a minister, and finally to sun-swept Arles where, during one of his attacks...
...anyone. After all, the only thing that Gilbert and Sullivan really requires is a good chorus and plenty of vigor. Iolanthe has both, and more.

Happily, they do not need to carry this...

It was that world of their own that I wanted to write about." The result is no Magic Mountain, but it is brilliant in its way. There has seldom been so sensual a novel written with so little eroticism or with so much effect. Lalla emerges as that strange girl who lies buried somewhere in most men's lives, the girl who was never attainable although all circumstances seemed just right...
...story of England's Civil War, crowded with gaudy and eloquent figures of drama, squalor and nobility, Churchill has also been writing a neglected chapter in American history. His narrative takes U.S. schoolbook history a generation back from where it usually starts. His brilliant sketch of turbulent 17th century England explains just how the Puritans on the run, gentlemen adventurers and refugees got their start in the New World, and what they had in mind when they touched American soil...
