...right the general tone of the painting grows green; there the bordering strokes are green on white. On the left, a plunging red streak ignites the entire canvas like a flare thrown across the night. (I describe the painting in such detail because it is impossible to convey any good idea of the painting in black and white reproduction -- that is the cost of successfully merging color and form...
...book, and the glorification of such characters never ceases to frighten me -- particularly when someone like McMurtry portrays him as charming and attractive. If we are meant to recognize the ridiculousness of the existence of such a figure in the modern world, McMurtry's techniques do not convey it. I respect McMurtry's desire not to remove himself from the grounds of his inspiration, and to continually deal with the settings and people he really cares about.

So subtle does the process get that foreign readers are better served by a ruler than a glossary. A recent visit by a Chinese medical team to the U.S., for instance, was given more space than a trip by the same team to France, a sure sign-experts claim-of China's priorities in foreign affairs. Several weeks ago, two large, front-page pictures of Henry Kissinger with Chairman Mao Tse-tung confirmed to China watchers...
