...biggest hullabaloo, however, was generated by Madonna. Although she has darkened her hair, is costumed in almost pristine propriety and speaks in grave, restrained tones with no hint of her trademark teen defiance, her entrance halfway through the first act evokes immediate gasps of recognition. From there, opinion sharply divides. New York Times Critic Frank Rich hailed her for "intelligent, scrupulously disciplined comic acting." Clive Barnes of the New York Post said, "There is a genuine, reticent charm here, but it is not ready to light the lamps on Broadway." But most first-nighters implied she had been hired...
Even in those early days, signs might have pointed an expert on alcoholism toward my growing problem. One hint was my immediate tendency to drink to unconsciousness. At parties, I would often fall asleep in mid-hullabaloo on the couch. That drew plenty of jokes at the time. Only much later did I recognize that I had been passing out. Another signal was an initial, abnormally high tolerance for alcohol, at least until the passing-out stage. I thought I could hold my liquor pretty well. Now I think it means that my body was being less dutiful than most...
Even in the computer industry, which is known for its hype and hullabaloo, the trade show that Digital Equipment Corp. opened in Boston last week is a happening. It is the largest and most lavish extravaganza ever held by a single computer manufacturer, and not even all the hotels in the Hub could accommodate the 50,000 executives, financial analysts and journalists from 25 countries who are expected to attend the $25 million, eleven-day affair. To house the overflow crowd, the Queen Elizabeth 2 and the Star/Ship Oceanic luxury liners were docked alongside the spacious World Trade Center...
Such was the hullabaloo last week surrounding the death of Andy Warhol at New York Hospital, an institution almost as well known for its celebrity patients (John F. Kennedy, Bob Hope, the Shah of Iran) as for its skilled surgical staff. The scandal was the second in just four weeks to engulf the medical center. In March the hospital admitted to having provided inadequate care for 18-year-old Libby Zion, the daughter of Sidney Zion, a locally prominent journalist-lawyer. She died March 5, 1984, less than eight hours after being admitted with a high fever and earache...
...never a "political artist" as such, a political current --generally of a milky, liberal kind--surfaces in Rosenquist's work. It produced a number of bland icons but one real masterpiece as well: F-111, 1965, the 86-ft.-long, multipanel anti-Viet Nam mural that caused a hullabaloo when the Metropolitan Museum chose to exhibit it in the '60s. Unlike most political art of the time, it looks unpolemical at first, and that is the source of its power. It sums up Rosenquist's vision of America as an Eden compromised by its own violence. The impact...
