...that has hardly inhibited the leaders of West Germany's major political parties, who have been crisscrossing their neighbor's landscape on behalf of sister groups vying for victory in the country's first -- and perhaps last -- free elections on March 18. No one has campaigned with more gusto than West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who was in the city of Erfurt last week. When he was introduced as "the Chancellor of our German Fatherland," chants of "Hel-MUT! Hel- MUT!" rose from 100,000 citizens massed in the town square. "We are one Germany!" Kohl declared...
William Hogarth invented the panorama of social class as a subject in English painting. Rowlandson, who was eight when Hogarth died, continued the tradition, with an equal gusto but greater humor.

I remember him singing the role of Doctor Bartolo in a resonant bass voice at a school performance of The Barber of Seville, and doing so with irresistible comic gusto. The general assumption among former students of his was that since he had been unable to emigrate, he must have perished in a concentration camp. To the surprise of all of us, he survived World War II and was able to live to a ripe old age. The seemingly incredible, but actually...
...Extra-Terrestrial (1982). All of Steven Spielberg's gifts -- his narrative gusto and suburban wit, his technical finesse and an emotional directness that buoys the heart -- blend sublimely in this fable of intergalactic friendship. One of the greats...
