...most of them are on the MOMA'S walls. On the other hand, copies and "later" versions-a euphemism for self-forgeries-are everywhere. (One of them, from the Cleveland Museum of Art, dubiously identified as a 1917 Metaphysical Interior, has crept into the show and should creep out.) Italian art dealers used to say the maestro's bed was six feet off the ground, to hold all the "early work" he kept "discovering" beneath it. In a spirit of pardonable malice, Rubin reprints in the catalogue 18 versions...

These "Coathanger Closets" or "Vacuum Alleys" would endanger lives; pregnant patients would never be certain whether their abortion was performed by a doctor, nurse, midwife, or butcher. Other choices creep up on the desperate mother-to-be the home-made, self-executed method, used for centuries before modern science and legal abortions, could grow popular again; many women would understandably rather risk injury or death than have their secret exposed.

Los Angeles Police Lieutenant Dan Cooke said that Belushi...
...called it this "awful place." But Antarctica, half again as large as the continental U.S., is also a world of spectacular beauty. Beyond its great central plateau, where the ice is more than two miles thick, are towering mountains, volcanoes, and glaciers as big as Rhode Island that creep inexorably toward the sea at rates up to two miles a year. There are even curious, snow-free "dry valleys" where the winds have sculpted the rocks into a phantasmagoria of surreal shapes...
