Autumn is a season of bonfires, pep rallies, red-dogs and touchdowns-as well as the time for presidential candidates to make their climactic quadrennial sprint toward Election Day. "Both football and press-the-flesh politics are peculiarly American institutions," says Associate Editor James Atwater, the writer of this week's cover story who has observed those peculiarities at close hand for three decades...
...Alphonse Mucha was a sculptor too, and nothing in this show epitomizes the art nouveau vision (or fantasy) of woman better than a bust he designed around 1899 for a Parisian jeweler. This astonishing object, whose form shifts like water in the twining reflections of silver flesh and gold hair, is perversely liturgical-a parody (done, one should recall, for a public whose cultural background was still Catholic) of medieval head reliquaries.

By the eighth pick, when a Buffalo...
...elaborate bathhouse patronized exclusively by males. His darkest fears are confirmed when some of the patrons start winking at him, and one, Claude Perkins, launches repeated attacks from behind doorways and across corridors. Claude (Paul B. Price) is a "chubby chaser," and the ring of flesh hanging over Gaetano's belt is so thick he seems to be wearing an inner tube under his shirt. Claude is transported...
