...such failures are magnificent ones, architectural experiments that excite bold clients. Although the pace of campus building has slackened because of tight money, the colleges show no signs of canceling their huge construction programs-or their innovative plans. Architects now talk confidently of building with mass-produced, clip-together parts and of the speedy evolution of megastructures that stretch literally for miles. They anticipate denser, more crowded campuses, hence are stressing the fine points of siting their buildings to make the most of an ever decreasing amount of open space. The colleges, in other words, are exploring and perhaps determining...
...destructive Mandy is balanced by the Mandy who has an obsession for order and symmetry. A toy out of place, a hair clip without a precisely secured mate on the other side of her head could send her into rages. In quiet moments she rocks herself with a natural sea-born rhythm. But when Mandy dances, it is explosive, "closer to Nijinsky or Zorba the Greek than to Fred Astaire." Her favorite toys are paper cutouts of golliwogs and Draculas and model airplanes that West assembles with her. The glue goes to their heads...
Anne zips around London at a royal clip in her own dark blue Rover 2000, dances till dawn at various London nightspots (Mother never waits up for her), rides in horse trials all over the country, buys many of her clothes off the peg in London's King's Road boutiques and wears severe Stetson-style hats instead of the flowery horrors that crown so many royal heads. Last year she sent Britons into paroxysms of one sort or another when she jumped onstage for the finale of the rock musical Hair and spent ten wild minutes dancing...
...testimony reads like a surrealistic nightmare: cribs that strangle, glass doors that shatter and become makeshift guillotines, high-handlebar bicycles that break cheekbones, hot-water vaporizers that scald, power mowers that clip off fingers and toes, wringer washing machines that crush the young and unwary. But the gruesome catalogue is no dream; it is compiled from accounts of common product hazards listed in a study released last week by the National Commission on Product Safety. The study notes that consumer products are involved in most household accidents -and those accidents kill 30,000 people annually, permanently disable...
Michael Same, Myra's director and coauthor, deserves special discredit for the repulsive dildo rape scene and the obscene device of interspersing the film with clips from movies of favorite old stars. Thus, in the context of Myra, Laurel and Hardy are made to look like fags. Even more outrageous is the use of Marilyn Monroe sequences during the rape. Only one clip educed any illuminating commentary about Myra. A tough old top sergeant from some obscure war movie growls, "That's what I call disgusting." Precisely...
