...Several auxilliary space ships with adjunct paraphernalia will satisfy the craving of any sci-fi fan. The creatures return all the individualb that they had abducted earlier, including the boy (who became quite enamoured with the aliens), and, to top it off, the aliens make an appearance in the flesh, so to speak...
...neither the failure to flesh out roles nor the numerous technical difficulties that reveal the weakness at the heart of his production. Instead, just as the progress of the prince from tavern to court expresses the theme of the play, so Jonathan Emerson's performance as Hal points up the lesson at the Loeb. Emerson handles his comic scenes skillfully, lolling drunkenly onstage, stingingly imitating Hotspur and his lady Percy, and showing, as when he helps the helpless Falstaff into his boots, a tender and subtle shift of mood. But when confronted with a serious scene, Emerson abandons his character...
...English critic John Berger remarked, the force of gravity was to Courbet what the vibration of light was to Monet and the impressionists. He could put more death into a trout, hooked and flapping on the pebbles, than Raphael could inject into a whole Crucifixion. Courbet's flesh was not an ideal substance, like the flesh of Ingres or Meissonier. Rather, it was weighty, carnal and real.

...closed, but this spring Hustler and its sister skin-book Chic (circ. 436,305) will begin depicting "a healthy attitude toward sex, mixed in with a spiritual message," says Flynt. "We will no longer treat women as pieces of meat." Specifically, Flynt plans to discontinue vaginal closeups, banish all flesh from the cover and sanitize a few regular features: "Asshole of the Month" will become "Turkey of the Month," for instance, and "Chester the Molester" will be renamed "Chester the Protector" and reassigned to guarding young girls from evil. Flynt does not say what will become of nude photo spreads...
...quattrocento medallion portraits. Nude in Profile, 1977, displays her pubescent body with the columnar grace of a figure by Piero della Francesca; light flows around the shallow curve of the wall and invests her outline with a hushed archaic permanence; many coats and scumblings of paint have given her flesh the porous, mat quality of fresco plaster. Balthus' art is about stabilizing the eye, and giving measure, proportion and distance to what it extracts from the world. The rooms in which his figures pose are all ideal architecture: their orthogonal emptiness is the stage for a subtle play...
