...work and in mobs descended on Sepah Square. So did other mobs assembled by the outlawed Tudeh Communist Party, which also would like to keep Parliament dissolved. In the happy crush, people did not have to show their identity cards or have their hands smeared with indelible ink. Many voted three or four times...
...human, has never developed a sure touch in these translations. Columbia's success in bringing James Jones's bestselling novel to the screen may be due partly to the fact that it was hardly a novel at all; it was an obscene, extravagant blot of ink, pressed between covers into something like a literary Rorschach sample.

...while drawing rose to new heights under the inspiration of the Zen Buddhist sect. Zen Buddhists stressed solitary contemplation as the loftiest activity, and Zen artists tried to put the fruit of such contemplation-the feeling that God exists, veiled, throughout nature-on to paper. Confining themselves chiefly to ink and water, they drew flowers, priests, birds, and deep, misty landscapes, with only a few strokes of the brush...
