Tampa-before a sunburnt clump of ball fans, Mr. George Lee Anderson of Bridgewater, S. Dak., Thousand Oaks, Calif., and Cincinnati was running a workout at Redsland under a gloriously cerulean sky. Simultaneously, Anderson studied his athletes, alerted fans to fouls, signed autographs, smiled at children and interviewed himself. The night before I'd mentioned that I wanted to ask about managing the Reds. "Sparky" Anderson, a professional, anticipated my questions so well that he stayed two notebook pages ahead of me most...
Even a Spartan might call Lily's lifestyle spartan, and the house, painted a cerulean blue, is small, almost a parody of a star's usual manse. "If I hit the skids tomorrow," she says, "I could still afford the house." She has a jukebox in the living room, an upright piano in the foyer and a small, cluttered study downstairs, with pictures of cherished stars of the past like Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable. The ceiling of her bedroom is painted sky blue, with puffy white summer clouds-her brother Richard's artwork. In the back...

To watch Williams posing in gold lame, rising from red smoke and diving into a cerulean swimming pool is to understand the blessedness of color blindness. For saccharinity like mother used to make, the film offers a series of backyard musicals in all two dimensions- always featuring Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, always culminating in variants of the lines...
...Strength. Yet in so plotless a pastiche, the population matters less than the imagination that propels it. That quality the film has in superabundance. Fellini's style is less theatrical than amphitheatrical. Colossal grotesques leap from private fantasy to public mind. In a set daubed with indelible cerulean and blood red, an albino hermaphrodite possessed of occult powers is abducted-only to wither pitifully in the desert. A quadruple amputee somehow manages a deep...
...proliferation of material in the second thematic group, the immediate juxtaposition of radically differing elements (here Mahler extended Bruckner's simpler process of motto-lyrical oppositions to ironic commentary on all materials), and the greatest lesson of an enormously expanded sonata time-scale. But Mahler could never equal the cerulean and luminous chorale apotheoses of this Edward Gibbon of symphonists. The two men worshipped in different churches, one Gothic, the other a spectral proscenium emblazoned with existential inquiry...
