...Boston, hundreds of artists and performers labored to prepare free, outdoor art shows and concerts for a New Year's Eve celebration. Like a scene from a 19th century print, Bostonians by the tens of thousands will wend their candlelit way past sculpture and singers, gathering on the Common for fireworks and communal cheer. In Beverly Hills, Calif, 2,000 people had been expected at a modest tree-lighting ceremony; 15,000 showed up. The once tattered social fabric is being rewoven. Across the country, charities report sharp increases in donations of all kinds. In Portland, Ore., the United...
...dialogue descends to incantatory gibberish, bogus Greek and primal screams; There are enough flaming pots trundled about the stage and so many candlelit processions of the Hollywood-extras variety as to suggest a new source of lighting for the World Trade Center...
...candlelit setting looked like something out of a sultan's palace.

Abandoned by Hollywood as too corny and too expensive to produce, shunned by television as unsuitable for the small screen, the costume epic is taking over the bookstalls...
...pain from the oppressive, whispering conclave above her; the picture is about impending rape, a common subject, but unique in being perceived from the woman's eyeline. Heavily influenced by Caravaggio, Gentileschi's paintings were determinedly "unfeminine," full of darkness, gore and gesticulation: witness the candlelit hand and shadowed face of Judith, like a waning moon, in Judith and Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes (circa 1625). A few other late-Renaissance women, like Sofonisba Anguissola, got more commissions than the forthright Artemisia; they moved with more ease at court and could play society better. But there...
