...effectively closed to the rest of the country. "There's a hell of a percentage increase in these day-after-nuclear scripts," says Michael Fuchs, president of Home Box Office's entertainment group. Apocalypse has clearly become something more than the fate that looms just over the horizon line. It may be the growth industry...
...from inside to outside. A painting like Summer Open with Mediterranean Blue, 1974, creates a strikingly concise yet opulent impression of landscape by these pared means. The passages of tone in the paint, the variations of blue depth, drench the eye in sea light without offering a glimpse of horizon; it is as though a part of nature had been taken down to its barest essence-discarding the thing but leaving the nuances-and then contrasted with an equally reduced emblem of culture: three lines, the platonic ghost of a building, humanizing the blue and saving the eye from getting...
...started out as partly a drug raid, partly a well-orchestrated publicity campaign. As a helicopter swooped over the horizon of Georgia's Chattahoochee National Forest, technicians on board directed the aerial spraying of selected plots of illicit greenery.

Jackson has begun stressing that although he is morally opposed...
...these women, that the horizon of their hopes is so low? And why do they stay with their roughhouse Romeos? Because the alternative is a new man just as bad as the last one, or, worse, no man at all. They give everything to their men and expect nothing in return, and so they are not surprised when their men turn into beasts. That is natural, Döblin and Fassbinder suggest: we are all predatory animals, driven by the compulsions to fornicate and dominate. A bear of a man, Franz makes love with feral ferocity, strapping his mate around...
