...nobly attempted to showcase local talent, most of their selections are weak in comparison with pieces by better known artists. Carol Cohen's "Greek Revival," plates of glass etched with a body and set in a mauve and teal neo-classical base, pales in contrast with Nancy Spero's deft exploration of female power and representation in the ancient era. More disappointing, however, is the glaring exclusion of some of the most talented Boston-trained photographers such as Jack Pierson, David Armstrong, Mark Morrisroe and Nan Goldin (the subject of a recent Whitney Museum retrospective), who pioneered gritty work...
That was Mastroianni: the postheroic hero, defining the European male in all his charm, complexity, failure. Husband and lover, actor and movie star, deft comedian and suavest delineator of atomic-age anomie--there was a Marcello for every sexual taste, every moral mood.

At the same time, they cut their costs by buying caskets and other materiel de mort at volume discounts and by linking funeral homes in clusters that share hearses, embalming rooms and other services. You may deposit your late Uncle Harry in that luxurious if slightly creepy Colonial house...
...lead pass from Philpott, freshman Jamin Kerner broke away to the right side of the Brown net, where he roofed a deft backhander over Holowaty's left shoulder for his first collegiate goal and to give Harvard a 2-0 lead...
