...printed before they are considered promulgated. Although L'Osservatore is owned by the Holy See and supervised by the Vatican Secretariat of State, it is classed as only "semiofficial." Material in L'Osservatore is deemed official in only three cases: when it is listed under the column "Nostre Informazioni [Our Information]," which reports the Pope's private audiences and appointments, or when it carries the datelines "Holy See" or "Vatican City." The Vatican can disclaim official responsibility for all other stories...
...generally conceded that an audience forced to watch a movie through the eyes of its main character begins to identify with that character, a point which for my money Bogdanovich disproves.

If the city were sprayed with plastic right now, we would preserve samples of life from the past two centuries, with the transportation system representing the oldest thing alive...
...forms, whose intentionally sloppy casting endows them with a bubbly effervescence. Charles Ross's Plexiglas prisms are filled with mineral oil, so that museumgoers see other museumgoers distorted through them, edged in rainbow spectra. Even marble seems to soar, at least in Minoru Niizuma's vertical marble column entitled Windy Wind...
