...point--he himself realizes its superiority to any E., however A. His illustration includes one of the key "Wake Up the Grader" pharses--"It is absurd." What force! What gall! What fun! "Ridiculous," "hopeless," "nonsense," on the one hand; "doubtless," "obvious," "unquestionable," on the other, will have the same effect. A hint of nostalgic, anti-academic languor at this stage as well may match the grader's own mood: "It seems more than obvious to one entangled in the petty quibbles of contemporary Medievalists--at times, indeed, approaching the ludicrous--that smile as we may at its follies, or denounce...
Mikolaj Kozakiewicz, speaker of the Sejm, said he did not know what the effect of Kiszczak's statement would be, but it was "a proposal...looking for another solution." He added that President Wojciech Jaruzelski must still accept Kiszczak's resignation and the parliament would still have to vote for Malinowski...
...effect, this would make the NEA hostage to every crank, ideologue and God botherer in America. A grant for an exhibition of Gothic ivories could be pulled on the grounds that the material was offensive to Jews (much medieval art is anti-Semitic), to Muslims (what about those scenes of false prophets in hell with Muhammad?) or, for that matter, to atheists offended by the intrusion of religious propaganda into a museum.

...effect, Cicippio's suspended sentence left his loved ones -- and the U.S. -- suspended as well. Behind Cicippio is a tattered line of 14 other Western hostages, eight of them Americans, still believed to be held in Lebanon. Other Americans continue to live and work in that shattered country despite official warnings issued by Washington in January 1987 that in effect they are on their own. So long as the U.S. and its citizens venture forth freely in the world, they will be vulnerable to extortion by kidnapers. Trying to come to terms with that implacable fact, Ronald Reagan stumbled...
...constructivists on, many an abstract artist has gone for the stripe in all its apparent simplicity -- the line that baldly, mysteriously becomes a form in itself. Yet their paintings are not like one another's: there is no confusing the precise black vibration of a Bridget Riley with the effect of one of Barnett Newman's "zips" or the slightly blurred, funereal pinstriping of an early Frank Stella. Today the stripe continues to linger in the wings of late modernism and is the adopted sign of one of the most toughly individual artists in America, Sean Scully. What, after...
