...good as any master's course." In a swing that spotted the nation from Portland, Me., and Charleston, W. Va., to Grand Rapids and the West Coast, Shriver's routine never varied: he would come down the ramp of his chartered 727 wearing facial expression No. 1, a closemouthed, eye-twinkly look of expectation. Then, as he greeted the local Democratic leaders, he would go to expression No. 2, the Shriver grin-jutting out the lower jaw and squinting his left eye, for a conspiratorial Commander Whitehead effect. Sometimes he would shake the same hand two, three times...
Olga Laaland, a native of Guadeloupe, credits Dr. Ng with relieving facial paralysis and enabling him to close his eyes properly for the first time in five years. A few, citing Dr. Ng's low fees ($10 a visit regardless of complaint or treatment), believe that organized medicine is behind the state action...
...acting in this film is marvelous, particularly Innokenty Smoktunosky's Vanya. His petulant spats with his maman, his grandiose pretensions, his weepy self-pity; the sarcastic facial expressions alone are phenomenal.

But he can be subtle when necessary as in his scenes with Sonya, in which he delicately and deftly refuses her offer of love...
...fulfilled by his own sculpture. There is scarcely one of his works that does not suffer in some measure from the tension between Lehmbruck's large desires and his extreme sensitivity, which resulted in a frequent indecision about surface modeling as well as a troublesome theatricality of facial expression and gesture. It is as though the psychological burden of being a 20th century man militated against the possibility of a grand-scale art based on the human figure-which, in fact, it does...
...formality of traditional Japanese etiquette. No one says hello or bids good-bye, pays a compliment or enters a room, without bowing politely to show respect, or even deep affection. These motions raise the most ordinary pastimes to a kind of cherished ritual. The langorous physical actions and static facial expressions actually serve to heighten one's awareness of constant tension. For even at the most peaceful moments, fans tremble incessantly in the hands of the actors, attempting to dispell what must be the sweltering heat of summer, and to relieve the friction of increasingly jangled nerves...
