...Brando got into a row with Ron Galella, the peskily persistent photographer whom Jacqueline Onassis had to fend off with a court order. Galella asked the actor to take off his dark glasses for another photograph. "No," said Brando bluntly, then swung with a right to the jaw. Galella fled to a hospital for nine stitches and a brace. The next day Brando was also admitted-for an infected right hand...
...Lipchitz simplified human figures into multiplaned, crystal-like abstractions. During the '20s, he began to reverse the process and "from a crystal build a man, a woman, a child." His ideal became Rodin rather than Picasso, his work more monumental, his themes heroic. During World War II, Lipchitz fled France for the U.S. and for the next 30 years concentrated on giant allegorical figures from Greek mythology and the Old Testament. Lipchitz was buried in Jerusalem where 300 of his sculptures have been bequeathed to the Museum...
...just one of more than 2,000 physicians who have fled the country since Castro's takeover. Most of them, like López, came to the U.S., where they were free to do almost anything-except be doctors.

Except for old friends like Dancer Erik Bruhn and Actress Monique Van Vooren, his life is a solo...
However wry Roth is, baseball is a religion in this novel. A ghostly past of Mel Ott, of Honus Wagner, the Folo Grounds, Kenesaw Mountain Landis -- it haunts this book. To Word Smith, it fled with America's innocence. In the bleachers at Fenway the other night, thinking of this, and badly shaken by the rendition of "Knock Three Times" that had just been piped to us at a deafening level, the kid in front of me with the baseball cap began loudly to taunt the center-fielder with the ageless imputation that he bit the dust. This convinced...
