...says now that he still can't understand just why it happened. Nor can three incredulous roommates, one of whom said he'd never seen anything like it in his life. "He could hardly speak, his eyes were sunk and hollow, he lost his mental faculties," recounted Joe's once and present roommate. But as all painful experiences tend to end, Joe says he has emerged from the devastating stretch with a lesson well-learned, and a good attitude toward exams...
...debate among historians. Is it a comment on the vanitas of earthly possessions and power, the transience of those grave young faces and minutely delineated objects? A comment on the relativity of painting to the real world? A heraldic device? A grim play between the German words hohle Bein (hollow bone) and the artist's own name? Or, given the elaborate nature of 16th century wit, is it all of these and more? Few early anamorphic paintings that survive are as complete in their illusion as this one. One of them is a portrait of Edward VI, painted...
Slowly, progresspvely, Brennan begins to come apart. Having completely lost his confidence in himself and in this confidence game, he becomes almost schizophrenic in his sales pitches, alternating between the most hollow mouthings of salesmen's cliches and bizarre confessions of inferiority to his brother who went to MIT.

But Verrett's bland, unchanging facial expression and her constant concern-except in the sleepwalking scene, her best musical moment-with polished tone did not begin to get inside a character that is more important to the opera than Macbeth...
...amorphous--all the more reason to be disappointed when they compartmentalize it, line it off in little boxes that defy comprehensiveness. [MORE]'s problem will always be that it is trudging along in the ranks of the Slick. Plumed cavaliers either joust each other or set up straw men, hollow men, graven images of themselves, to knock down. The magazine is covering a game of daggers sliding out of ruffled tuxedo sleeves, or a swift innuendo to the kidneys, or, at best, a Polaroid snapshot of stasis. They're all interesting, these conspiracies, but [MORE] has missed...
