...Beirut International Hotel serenely went on winking its ad for the " 1,000 and One Nights" supper club. The second Israeli group splashed ashore on a narrower beach half a mile away, clambered up a rocky incline and found three more rented cars on top of a promontory called Eden...
...medical circles--that the early embryo is, until the sixth week of development, essentially "female," A refutation of the Eve-from-Adam's-rib syndrome, this claim is apparently meant to discredit the psychoanalytic theory that the "aggressive," "masculine" woman is really longing after a lost, bisexual embryonic Eden. Those qualities, Sherfey would argue, are on the contrary innate in woman from the beginning, and it is from woman that male "masculinity" is derived...
...family look like intellectual suicide. One searches throughout for a bit of humanity, a moment of emotional challenge, and finds only one, in the performance of Lois Smith. Hers is one of those rare talents that makes practically every role she has done memorable: the waitress in East of Eden, for example, or Jack Nicholson's sister in Five Easy Pieces.

Thus Up the Sandbox is guilty not only of trivializing a major subject but also of wasting a major talent...
Copes, which are worn instead of the chasuble for nonEucharistic ceremonies such as marriages or baptisms, tended to have an allover, continuous design. Typical is the exaggeratedly baroque fruitings and blossomings of what appears, on an early 18th century brocade, to be the Garden of Eden, seen against a blue satin sky. But with chasubles, a different convention arose. This sprang from the tailors' way of seaming together strips of fabric, which were then reinforced with a decorative vertical band called an orphrey. Orphreys might be relatively simple-as on the Met's heavily restored 14th-15th century...
...Stephen Elliott's God is a bull-roaring cosmic paterfamilias and Bob Dishy as Adam is playfully endearing as a man whose innocence has been tampered with. As Eve, Australian-born Zoe Caldwell suffers from an imperial sibilance in her delivery, which somehow implies that the Garden of Eden was the first British colony. George Grizzard's Lucifer is best of all, a celestial Richard III combining a ravenous appetite for power with silky glints of mischief...
