...complacent man but of an artist at the height of his powers and willing to gamble deeply. By putting such paintings alongside others that are less well known, the National Gallery has given us, if not an entirely new Matisse, then at least a radically refreshed one -- no mean feat, considering the amount of writing and scholarship devoted to his career in the three decades since he died...
...gear. At first, the bar's patrons would cheer just the brief mention of Lynch's name on national TV, but after a few years of such random mentioning by Summerall and Frank Gifford and Howard Cosell, they grew restless. They wondered when Fran would duplicate his two-touchdown feat against the Jets. But he never did.

She must simultaneously experience and elegize the high spirits of her teens, and she accomplishes the feat with grace, wit and feeling. Turner, 32, cannot pass for a teenager, but that makes sense. The young Peggy Sue is "not herself"; she is older and on the way to being wiser. It is appropriate too that Cage, 22, seems younger, jerkier than his girlfriend, because, being...
