...Russian triumph turned attention to the sort of rigorous training young Soviet virtuosi grow up on and the day seemed especially bright for Oistrakh: of the winners at Brussels, three are his very own pupils. The Russian superiority, critics agreed, involved fidelity to the music, discipline-and the kind of maturity that let Michlin, 24, quickly snatch up the concertmaster's violin and go on playing when a string in his own instrument broke during his performance of a concerto written especially for the occasion...
...logs, barrels and planks that she saws apart and nails together. At times her figures seem to be little more than crude painted cutouts; but their oddball incompleteness and the way painted surfaces suddenly and spontaneously emerge into sculpted forms are meticulously planned. Three dimensions sink into two; two grow into three in a sort of Marisol version of Hans Hofmann's theory of push-and-pull. Marisol's greatest ally is the power of free association.

A one-penny Mauritius "Post Office" Red recently sold in England for $23,800 is known to have belonged to an unlikely...
...done, whether or not undergraduates approve; and other values beside the academic obtain in other communities. "Real life" includes much more than the life intellectual which Meyers seems so much to admire. There is an inscription on one of the gates leading into the Yard: "Enter to Grow in Wisdom." Perhaps for most of us the sign should be on the other side of the gate. At least occasionally...
