...painted to look like real skin, clothed in real garments and provided with genuine glass eyes. The craftsmanship is meticulous, not to say obsessive. It produces not images but model people-androids without the electronic guts. Each plastic scalp is the sum of myriad transplants; thousands of strands of fuzz are pricked into the cold, immobile forearm; the pigment on the skin replicates flesh down to the very last pore, zit, shaving nick and burst vein, while every T shirt and pair of overalls displays exactly the right degree of grunge, wear and spattering. Consequently, the presence of these figures...
...first impression is of peach-fuzz abstract expressionism-big, suave, one-color surfaces. But the sunset colors -mauve, rose, gray and a rich ecclesiastical red-are neatly tuned by Dine's drawing, which gives exactly the right definition to the edge of a sleeve, the correct visual weight to the shadow in a fold.

But the phrase simply no longer serves to describe the massive outpourings of cash and angst, the pop convolutions of status and commerce now going on in the once staid world of tennis. Even the word orgy, though it has some...
...American people are. And his message was that all Americans?welfare recipients and welfare workers, black civil rights activists and white segregationists, hardhats and students?are good people. Despite opponents' criticisms that he was two-faced, he almost invariably took the same stand before all audiences. He might fuzz his position on some issues, or omit Martin Luther King's name from a list of great Americans as he spoke before conservatives in Florida, but his basic themes were consistent. They were also upbeat and positive...
