...season; in the first week, all 19 oils have been either sold or reserved for prices ranging upward from $35,000 for the smallest multiple-image portraits. For nearly 20 years, he has been renowned in inner circles as Britain's finest figurative painter; his works have hung in U.S. museums since the early 1950s. His commercial success is a telling comment on just how open-minded the general public has become, for Bacon's material is, to put it simply, sick...
White on a ride in a car and riddled him with 30-cal. slugs and shotgun pellets. Despite that confession, Jones' trial ended in a hung jury. And though he was indicted again as an accessory after the fact, he has never been retried. Avants was later acquitted in a separate trial, and Fuller has never been tried for murder...
Aggressive Medium. For nearly a decade, or since Robert Rauschenberg hung a tire on a stuffed goat and Andy Warhol began painting the soup can, artists have labored to create simple, obvious public art. They used colors that screamed; painting was likely to have hard-edged forms; sculpture was geometric, intended as focal points in plazas. Today the trend is in the opposite direction: artists are deliberately going underground. Even though they may use people as part of their sculptures-as does Byars-their purposes remain arcane and enigmatic...

As it is, the G.O.P.'s narrower victory improves Percy's chances somewhat, but not much; he may have trouble mustering support for re-election to the Senate...
Last week the temperature hovered around 60° at Great Gorge and the fall foliage still hung on the trees, but a hundred-odd young skiers turned up early to try the synthetic surface. They wedeled down the 1,200-ft. slope or slammed through the slalom course. A few even tried the 30-meter jump, which later this month will be used by Olympic hopefuls. Those that tumbled picked themselves up unhurt; Sno-Mat's pliable bristles had cushioned their falls. "Psychologically, Sno-Mat would be better if it were white," said Sven Evenesen, 17. "But I'm happy...
