...both completely camp in its pseudo-Byzantine extravagance and, in its identification of the star with the Madonna, yearningly devotional. Here, Warhol is Genet in paint. So too with the "disasters" and the electric chairs of the early and mid-'60s, which are truly awful in their curt, grainy enunciation of the facts of casual or ceremonial death. The sign on the wall of the death chamber -- SILENCE -- provides an essential motif of Warhol's imagination, and it was hardly an accident of gesture that his best-known self-portrait has his finger on his lips...
...Soviet leader's chilly assessment of his first private meeting with the West German Chancellor brought little warmth to the thaw in relations between the Soviet Union and West Germany. But that hardly mattered in the cold calculation of national interests that dominated four days of careful, even curt talks between Europe's two pre-eminent powers. Gorbachev's impoverished military superpower is keen to profit from Western investment and trade. And West Germany has joined the stampede to turn perestroika to its own economic and political advantage. By the time Kohl departed, both leaders hoped they had laid...
...first third of Wim Wenders' long, gorgeous, swoony, dead-serious fairy tale, the voices of today's Berlin rise like the choral symphony of a great city. Then, gradually, a few solo stories can be heard. An old man named Homer (Curt Bois) recalls the days, once upon a time, when a poet had listeners, drawn into a circle; now he has only solitary readers, unable to warm themselves at the long-ago communal campfire of art.

...Dayley. To press the point, with the bases loaded in the seventh inning, Dayley came in to save the game. This may be stretching poetry a bit far, but that is the World Series. For the way he marshals the forces of Vince Coleman, Ozzie Smith and Curt Ford, Manager Whitey Herzog is celebrated as a thinker. ("The game of baseball's been awful good to me ever since I stopped trying to play it.") But the older Cardinals manager, Coach Red Schoendienst, still likes to flutter his fingers at the opponents in a tried-and-true hex. Something...
