...from a crisp shot of blue sky and gold sand to the dull greys and greens of the infantryman's daily existence.

...these parts--Narizzano's smooth camerawork, Cort's lurching educator, Eggar's rough-hewn farmer's wife, and the dozen kids who make up Max Brown's class--is a satisfying whole, not unlike My Brilliant Career.

When they could not reach a consensus at a meeting, Wilson slammed his folder shut and stalked out, telling them to see him when they...

Those who profess sophisticated knowledge of art try to read symbolic meaning into his forms, seeing them as conceptual statements. Others take one look at the sculptures--mass-produced chunks of wood, bricks and steel plates arrayed in monumental checkerboards and rough-hewn pyramids--and decide this is not "art" at all, but something the fabled 5-year-old could...
