...through it one seems to float. Such an image could become excruciatingly kitschy (one cutout angelfish would do it), but what preserves the balance and tightness of Pfaff's work is her daring, uninhibited sense of abstract form. Those squiggles and meshes, bits of screening, Mylar and Day-Glo plastic work together beautifully as aerial handwriting. In her work there is not a trace of the hesitation and nostalgia, the feeling of being becalmed, that gave the '70s their grayish tone. A few more artists like her, and the '80s might be an interesting decade...
...network television cameras panned and probed across the United States last week, searching for high political drama. They found it along Chicago's State Street on St. Patrick's Day. Mayor Jane Byrne, in a Day-Glo green vinyl cap and swathed in the luxurious fur of numerous martens, towed an uncomfortable Senator Kennedy through what used to be Mayor Richard Daley's scruffy but functional precincts.

...Hampshire Highway Hotel, Dick Riley, director of the Gun Owners (GO) of New Hampshire, insists that the NRA, the nation's most powerful lobby, is not paying for the bumper stickers that the folds in the crowd are holding.

That may be true, but it is scant consolation to many men. Grumbles one New York male: "I don't think the men of America will put up with this...
...passengers on the Cambridge bus to the Women Against Pornography (WAP) march on Times Square a week ago got a pretty good idea of what they were up against the minute they boarded. A day-glo poster above the driver's seat read, "Don't ask me to think--I was hired for my looks." Tall, blond, and paunchy, wearing his name (Dick) on a big pewter belt buckle, the man beneath the sign greeted the "ladies" as the coach pulled onto the Mass Pike. "A couple of you look familiar back there," he said. "I didn...
