...discussions in the book. He sometimes treats the issue overtly as when the intellectuals and churchmen who wander through Toomey's narrative subject the doctrine of free will and the homosexual's place in the kingdom of God to ponderous scrutiny. How can homosexuals and a conception of God coexist in harmony? This is the question the many homosexuals Toomey encounters--antagonists and lovers alike--are continually fretting over. And yet, Burgess's most absorbing and ponderous moral statements do not come from such often-babbling and never conclusive two-cigarette musings by such characters, but rather they come from...
...such homogeneous "look." It was not a decade for movements. Movements belonged to the '60s: op, pop, color-field, minimalism and so on. By 1975 all the isms were wasms. The '70s were pluralistic; every kind of art suddenly found room to coexist. The idea of a "mainstream," beloved of formalist criticism in the '60s, vanished into the sand: "At last the Dodo said, 'Everybody has won, and all must have prizes.'

The system lacks the checks and balances that were deliberately built into the U.S. system, allowing Giscard to maneuver in ways Jimmy Carter could never hope...
...appreciably less sculptural genius than other Pacific cultures, such as the Maoris or New Hebrideans; but the gaunt, intimidating ferocity of some of the pieces, especially a head woven from vine roots with its mouth outlined in dogs' teeth and its scalp matted with human hair, could coexist with a high order of technical skill. What survived the auto-da-fe in greater quantity was decorative art of lesser iconographic content: not gods, but feather robes, bone or whale-tooth ornaments, and the beautifully carved wooden containers, irregular in their polished silkiness, from which the Hawaiians ate their...
