...victims of its seriousness is the stereo type of the nude. Manet invariably painted women as equal beings, not as denatured objects of allure. Victorine, the model, is clearly a model doing a professional stint; the illusions of the salon body, timelessness and glamour, are no longer properties of nakedness. Other artists painted nymphs as whores; it took Manet, in the Olympia, to paint a whore as her own person, staring back at the voyeurs, restricting the offer to a transaction. Here, as in paintings of women who were not models (like Berthe Morisot, whose shadowed and inward-turning beau...

A section of Palmer's adolescence was spent residing in the Los Angeles movie community, Beverly Hills, where his habit was to rise early hoping to observe Janet Leigh picking up the paper in her pink peignoir. Now Palmer can be seen in his underwear on billboards, but seldom in uniform on a mound. Pestered by various miseries, Palmer...
Still, Reynolds' commemoration left Washington, his home town, troubled about television's encompassing view of its own glamour and power. The first act of those who run the singular world of big-time TV was to make the passing of Reynolds a major studio enterprise that, whether intended or not, seemed to be an effort to hype the ratings with pathos and personalities.
