Opening a fête exhibit titled "The Fight for Human Rights," Marchais called the incident "more complex than the caricaturish version given by those who have decided once and for all that the Soviet Union is the kingdom of evil and its leaders bloodthirsty ogres." Keeping his orthodox shibboleths in order, he accused the U.S. of reacting with "cries of vengeance" and "terms of abuse and invective...
...portraying Annie Hall, but the character makes no claims upon our sympathy, despite all the vilification unloaded upon her by Dunn's succession of one-night lovers.

...tall, well-proportioned, with a face, as his friend Leigh Hunt put it, "in which energy and sensibility were remarkably mixed up." None of Keats's portraitists, however, could quite agree on how the energy and sensibility should be depicted. Some sincerely meant likenesses looked as caricaturish as the unflattering version by one of Keats's London acquaintances, the aging poet-artist, William Blake, who wrote, after making...
