Austin (Kevin Connell) is an uptight Ivy grad struggling desperately to sell his romantic "period piece" to a Hollywood producer. Lee, (Alex Norman) his older brother, is a macho, beer-guzzling thief with considerable disdain for Austin's sheltered intellectual life. When the brothers get holed up together in their mother's house, sparks fly. Insults fly. Silverware, toasters and golf clubs fly, too. By the end of Sam Shepard's True West, the kitchen is a disaster area worthy of any Harvard undergrad's living quarters. Not even the cast from Risky Business could clean up this mess before...
...indictment was long anticipated, but the size of the proposed penalties was enough to provoke a collective gasp among Wall Streeters. Last week a federal grand jury in Manhattan charged junk-bond king Michael Milken, 42, his brother Lowell, 40, and Bruce Lee Newberg, 31, a former colleague of theirs at the investment firm Drexel Burnham Lambert, with a total of 98 felony counts of stock manipulation, insider trading, racketeering and other crimes. The indictment calls for the three accused to forfeit their total compensation of $1.5 billion for 1984 through 1987 (plus interest of $257 million) and pay fines...

They greeted me as a brother, and the more furiously the newspapers stigmatized and the authorities pressured Daniel and me, the better they treated...
...Academy show includes quite a lot of De Chirico's more debatable pseudoclassical work from the '20s -- this is now de rigueur, thanks to its popularity among postmodernists, who see it as a daring and prophetic form of backwardness -- as well as the paintings of his hardly less talented brother, the painter-composer-dram atist who worked under the name of Alberto Savinio and turned the late scheme of metaphysical painting into an even wilder pastiche than it had already become...
...latter-day art boom was fostered by Roman Catholic missionaries. Among them were Brother Marc-Stanislas Wallenda from Belgium, who founded Kinshasa's Academy of Fine Arts in 1943, and Father Kevin Carroll of Ireland, who in the same era came to work among Nigerian craftsmen. Most white missionary bishops back then, Carroll recalls, "thought we were wasting time." Political independence and the increase of black clergy accelerated the process that European Christians call adaptation or inculturation, meaning the incorporation of local culture into Christianity. Today Nigeria has Africa's largest corps of artists and artisans, and Zaire probably boasts...
