...After the physical second period, a lot of our players were actually wounded," said center Randy Millen. Mike Clasby was slashed under the eye while Dave Schuster also came away bloodied...
...provincial beginnings often confer a certain intensity on painters. The eye becomes obsessive, prehensile. Sanchez Cotán was a cloistered monk who never went outside Spain-but his Bodegon of vegetables (see color overleaf) is one of the most remarkable still-lifes ever painted. Each form-the ribbed curves of the cardoon stalks, the fleshy convolutions of the hanging cabbage, the ragged lace of the lettuce-is rendered with breathtaking economy. The picture is a lesson in ideal vegetarian geometry, with the slice of lemon and the slender cones of carrots occupying space like Renaissance mathematical models...

Instead she demonstrates the consequences of valuing survival above all else, that there can then be no limits to what a man can be driven to do. With a direct and ruthless eye, Wertmuller illustrates what of horrors this involves, forcing us to experience for ourselves what it would be like to face these consequences...
...same angle, the same perspective, or a similar effect of light and shadow. He has not succeeded in a single instance. It is impossible to recapture Piranesi's vision; either the monument itself has changed, or the ground level, or the surroundings. In some instances Piranesi drew scenes the eye (or the camera) could not see in any age; there is not nor has there ever been enough space in front of the Trevi Fountain to make it possible to see the whole fountain and the buildings on either side at once.

His photographs resolve things more sharply than either Piranesi or the eye can, details such as the frescoes in the apse of St. Paul's, the freize of the Temple of Jove the Thunderer. Levit's ruins do not pull weathered marble's trick of fading into the sunny haze of a Roman sky, or the dust of Roman earth. He has set them off against a darkened world by burning the film up to the contour of the monument...
