...RECORD, for its part, sacrificed much of its personality in order to capitalize on its new plant. The old tabloid format went down the drain, along with the daily full front-page photo of The Drama of Everyday Life (kids' cats stuck in trees with firemen on the way; the near rescue of a suicide victim; the wreckage of the car and truck that crashed head-on at 80 mph, miraculously killing only seven out of eight occupants). The front-page maze of banner headlines luring readers to inside pages gave way to a single full-column headline atop...
Offering a combination of urbane musical comedy and hip ghetto humor, the hour-long program features two young black stars whose previous exposure has been mainly in New York theaters. Moore and Davis, offstage roommates for the past two years, are teamed up in a TV format built around their real life relationship. Portrayed as co-inhabitants of a New York brownstone (separated, for propriety's sake, into separate apartments), they sing and socialize in a roof-and-stoop setting with visiting guest stars who check in each week as temporary roomers...
...offensive, attacking McGovern's campaign proposals and voting records. "If we can show the voters where McGovern really stands and where Humphrey stands, we can win," insists Cerrell.

...made you happy or sad? talked to you as though you were a human being with feelings and problems? Fat chance. Maybe if you're married to one. Maybe. Most of the time they just treat you to their individual ideas on some topic, presented in the scintillating lecture format; on a rare occasion, their ideas may even be more interesting and useful than your own, depending on which of you has been more calloused to life by over-exposure to academia. Afterwards they have the nerve to grade you on how well you have been able...
...more-fortunately. In isolation, Resnick's work has developed steadily, and it now stands at an exhilarating pitch of concentration. He may not be Monet's follower, but his pictures do bear similarities to the late Monet lily ponds, not only in format -they are usually long, narrow rectangles, which drench the viewer in a field of color-but also in their light and density of surface. Resnick is a quite traditional painter, to the extent that he works in intimate, stroke-by-stroke contact with his painting. Brush marks pile on one another, forming a layered...
