...chemistry. Before this court, however, Clark could not, or would not, link O.J. definitively to the carnage. Detectives admitted that they could find no footprints at his estate to match the bloody ones leading from the murder. Nor could a slit be found on the much prized glove to correspond with a cut on Simpson's finger. On Friday, Simpson cried as a coroner reviewed diagrams of the victims' dozens of wounds; but the descriptions posed a new puzzle: Could a lone assailant have done all that damage that swiftly...
...mythomaniac autobiography, The Secret Life of Salvador Dali, he took pains to spin out a fiction of his early originality. He wanted people to think he'd been found like Moses in the bulrushes, a miracle child: Salvador, Saviour. In part this did correspond to the truth.

His portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Samuel Beckett command attention because's Monroe's baffled abjection and Beckett's quiet endurance correspond to states of mind familiar enough to most people. And the affectless pictures of oil-rig workers and cowboys and drifters that Avedon made in the western U.S., a place that still holds some of its mythic power as a land of opportunity, are a powerful representation of everyone's worst fears of disappointment...
...also have to rethink his strategy. The President can no longer afford to dissipate his energies by constantly squabbling with the parliament. A new posture of conciliation was hinted at last week when Kremlin spokesman Vyacheslav Kostikov publicly allowed that parts of the Liberal Democratic and Communist programs "quite correspond to the social aspects of the President's policies -- that is, the social policy of the state, patriotism, making Russia great...
