...show's depictions of courtly pleasures delight: gods and maharajahs gambol with busty dancing girls, rendered in golds, greens and russets by delicate, squirrel-tail brushes. But the standouts are the paintings of otherworldly subjects, works unlike any others produced in India at the time. Three Aspects of the Absolute, from 1823, is a startlingly modern triptych, with a plain gold panel to evoke the Absolute, followed by two others on which a holy man is depicted merging with the divine essence through yoga. Created by a Rajasthani artist named Bulaki, it jives uncannily with a contemporary aesthetic. The paint...
...Nobody Move” is best read as any other story. Sympathy falls typically, but genuinely, in favor of Luntz, especially when, in the face of almost certain castration, he tells a story about accepting a lottery ticket over a sizable amount of money as payment for childhood chores.

Hentoff agreed to a gambol down faded 60-year-old Memory Lane to talk about his book and his Boston upbringing, though that’s not really what he ended up talking about...
...their response to the campaign's decision to cancel press conferences for the last seven weeks of the campaign. For most pols, a blackout would be reason to haul out the peanuts and Cracker Jack, but for the slap-and-tickle candidate, this was punishment. Bush likes to gambol and gibe, because that's what baseball is too. Which is why his off-the-record chats tell you more about Bush in minutes than hours of reporting could ever uncover: what he thinks about the debates, the stolen debate tape and the electoral landscape. He mocks Al Gore. He pinches...
