...West, forgotten in the basement of a second-rate studio where he slaved night and day to write cheap gangster flicks, had his vengeance in The Day of the Locust; where all of America was portrayed as a Hollywood burlesque. And James Agee, who left lucrative positions as film critic for Time and The Nation to write screenplays finished his days writing sad, haunting scripts of empty hotels and circus elephants which to this day have not been produced...
depoliticized text of Prisoner which has been reproduced in Genius and Lust makes an even poorer showing against the body of elastic and informative, if not exceptionally original, criticism presented.) You suspect that although the critic recognizes the injury in sexism, he can't bring himself to take it too much to heart. Rather than go through the motions of confronting this aspect of Miller's work, he scrupulously ignores it. The women's liberation movement long ago slung the albatross of sexism around Mailer's own neck, and he must have considered that intentionally reconjuring its specter in this...
Multiplicity is also a word that describes Hughes. A onetime architecture student and political cartoonist in his native Sydney, Australia, Hughes covered an art exhibit for a local paper one day in 1958 after the regular critic had been fired.

In an infrequent interview, with TIME Music Critic William Bender, he dispatched the subject of pain fast: "So what! I had a long time to think during seven weeks in the hospital. Now everything is such a joy, the bread I eat, every step. It's a new life...
Movie and TV Critic Richard Schickel wrote the story, based on reporting by Leo Janos and William F. Marmon Jr. in Los Angeles and Mary Cronin, Janice Castro and Jean Vallely in New York. As the Show Business/Television reporter-researcher, Vallely rivals Duffy in periodic movie marathons (up to four films in a day). But she recalls that as a child, "movies were only something for a rainy day. It wasn't healthy to spend so much time indoors." Instead, her family would often trek from their home in Falmouth, Me., to leftfield in Fenway Park to watch...
