...Report's strongest critics point out that such hope cannot justify the Report. "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions," iconoclast Banfield quipped...
...common occurrence at the ICA for some time. Its first manifesto laid claim to everything contemporary from sculpture and painting to music, theater, poetry and films. To further the love-in between the arts, the ICA picked as its new director Michael Kustow, 28, a bearded, bumptious young iconoclast whose background has been not in art but as a jack of all trades for the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Even the people who hate him love to watch him. London's "Pop Socrates," as he is called, is equally intemperate in his writings, some of which have now been collected in a book, The Most of Malcolm Muggeridge (Simon & Schuster, $5.95). Muggeridge, says London Critic Colin Maclnnes, has the "gift of absolutely compulsive readability...
