...course, we could have taped the symphony playing. This is what they used to do in the early sound pictures. And we do have a tape for when the film goes on tour, for those places that have no orchestra pit. But I could think no better way to convey the excitement Gance himself brings to the audience than to have the musicians there, live...
...Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, the American Artist R.B. Kitaj, expatriate in England, has come home in force. For the past 15 years, Kitaj has been one of the most visible figures in European painting. His images, edgy and literary, full of sexual belligerence and failed political hopes, powerfully convey what the poet John Ashbery (in one of the catalogue essays for the show) calls "an era's bad breath."

Streep, as the Scarlet Woman of Lyme Regis, has to convey an obscure, flighty vulnerability, always looking away from the camera and Smithson. And always she has at her disposal that piercing stare--a private look that lets the inner fires shine through the private mists. She builds an impenetrable wall around herself, riddle within mystery inside enigma, and then pierces...
...women in America, and discuss the changing nature of American society. Deane usually takes a more reserved stance, defending the hard-working wife-mother and encouraging readers to respect women, regardless of their career achievements. She relies on a folksy style and low-key sense of humor to convey her theme. In a recent discussion prompted by the air traffic controllers' strike, she concluded...
