...gold-ground Gothic: Giovanni Bellini and Giorgio da Castelfranco, alias Giorgione. One sees, in the introductory galleries of this show, how Bellini supplied the prototypes for one side of early Titian, his suave construction of pictorial space and pragmatic realism. Then, equally fundamental, there is Giorgione, Titian's exact coeval, but dead "of exhaustion as much as the plague," as one literary mourner obscurely put it, in his early 30s. So little is known about Giorgione's life that the interplay of influence between the two young artists will probably never be fully sorted out. Our ignorance...
...going to be dealing with all those issues like abortion, busing, voting rights, prayer. I'm not interested in those issues, and I want to stay as far away from them as I can." Yet Quayle was not raised among people who shied from extremes. He is the coeval of the cold war: the year of his birth, 1947, also gave us the CIA, the Attorney General's list of subversives and the internal-security program. When Quayle was five years old, Dwight Eisenhower carried Indiana with the help of Quayle's grandfather, publisher Eugene Pulliam, and William Jenner...
MORE and more older men refuse to be resigned. Despite today's much-heralded split between generations, which should guarantee coeval marriages, the number of old-young alliances may be increasing. Certainly their visibility is. As May arrives, December seems closer than ever...

Many cases indicate that while a man's potency can be dramatically stimulated for a few months by an affair with a younger woman, he will usually revert to the same pattern he had maintained with his coeval wife. According to Sociologist Clark Vincent, on the other hand, there is more likelihood of serious differences in sexual appetite among coevals than among May-December couples. Vincent's theory, however, has yet to be verified...
...visibility of the actor, by making him much more of a group figure, an inter-actor-the difference, as it were, between Greek sculpture and Egyptian bas-relief. Similarly, the playwright in Brook's hands has been reduced to a sort of coauthor. Brook supplies, or imposes, a coeval text of ritualistic sounds and gestures that often competes with the playwright's lines. At its worst, this method generates intensity without illumination. At its best, it taps sources of visceral theatrical vitality...
