...mask-faced pharmacist smiles at you from behind his counter. It is fitted out with all the fake arcana of his trade, looming RX signs, mysterious-looking vials containing nothing but colored water, and selected two-color prints from Great Moments in Pharmaceutical History: "Galen at Work," "Dr. Fleming Peeling Oranges," and so forth...
Neiman-Marcus provides the blimps, complete with passenger compartments large enough for two people, in any color combination and includes a set of flight instructions with each. By the way, the dirigibles are collapsable and portable--just right for picnics, N-M assures...
Rather than lay out $400 for an off-brand color TV that may have to be replaced in a few years, consumers are choosing $600 and $700 Sonys, the industry's standard of excellence, whose sales are up substantially.

Utrillo (Ethan Phillips) is in thrall to two false gods, alcohol and his mother. Soutine (George Gerdes) is a color addict equally intoxicated by the stains on a butcher's apron and the veins of a plucked chicken. Led by Modigliani (Jeffrey de Munn), these Three Musketeers of the Night smash up cheap restaurants, cadge drinks, slash their canvases in frustrated rage and collapse in wild laughter at their own absurdity...
