...artist Edward Kienholz's last piece was his burial, which took place at a hunting cabin he owned on top of a mountain in Hope, Idaho, in 1994. He had died of a heart attack at age 65, and now his corpulent, embalmed body was wedged into the front seat of a brown 1940 Packard coupe. There was a dollar and a deck of cards in his pocket, a bottle of 1931 Chianti beside him and the ashes of his dog Smash in the back. He was set for the afterlife. To the whine of bagpipes, the Packard, steered...
Kienholz's best tableaus remind you what a long shadow Edward Hopper cast on American art. (It is a fair bet, though, that Hopper would have found Kienholz's raucousness and sexual satire detestable.) The Beanery, 1965, his famous reconstruction of a grungy West Hollywood bar--a little slice of hell, in fact, full of endless chatter, where all the clients' heads are clocks whose hands have stopped for eternity at 10 p.m.--has its affinities to Hopper's Nighthawks.

Federal agents raided a suspected bombmaking site in central Georgia, arresting two members of a right-wing paramilitary group on bomb-conspiracy charges. The agents seized enough material to make 40 pipe bombs. Robert Edward Starr III, 34, an electrician, and William James McCranie Jr., 30, a plumber, were said to be stockpiling the arsenal in preparation for an upcoming "war" against the government. Starr and McCranie, who were taken into custody by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, are allegedly members...
...Sheppard. "How else should one describe a writer who moves effortlessly through time and who can summon ghostly characters from previous books to play full-blooded roles in his latest work?" Readers familiar with Kennedy's earlier work in 'Ironweed' and 'Billy Phelan's Greatest Game' will remember Edward Daugherty. Forgotten and senile by the 1930's in 'Billy Phelan', Daugherty is shown at the height of his powers in 'The Flaming Corsage,' when his play of the same name scandalizes proper Albanians in 1912. "At just over 200 pages, 'The Flaming Corsage' contains more dramatic events, bright dialogue...
