...story, confused and tragic as it is, does not hold their attention nearly so well as the story of Pham. Pham's story is not at all confused. Nor does anyone at Jubilee doubt its authenticity. For one thing, there are witnesses to it???not many, to be sure, since only five of the original eleven voyagers survived. Those who made it verify Pham's account, if somewhat reluctantly. The two parallel gashes also serve as supporting evidence. Even after two months, they stand out like a reddened equals sign on the top of Pham's head...
...actors who surrender to the tortuous introspection of the Method. "Spence and Hank felt the same way I do," she says. "The camera sees through the performance. We were brought up in the school that teaches: You do what the script tells you. Deliver the goods without comment. Live it???do it???or shut up. After all, the writer is what's important. If the script is good and you don't get in its way, it will come off O.K. I never discussed a script with Spence; we just did it. The same with Hank in On Golden Pond...
...posing (in the Vollard suite of etchings) for the Mediterranean artist-god, Picasso himself, have an extraordinarily inward quality, vegetative and abandoned. In one sense, the body of Marie-Thérèse, curled up in Nude Asleep in a Landscape, 1934, is seen as a graffitist might see it???a lilac-toned pink blob, twisted and curled to show its openings, nipples and navel, the body recomposed in terms of its sexual signs. It is a hieroglyph for arousal, tumescence in paint. Yet it is something more. For in these images of Marie-Thérèse, Picasso demonstrated his power...
...basic facts about his life are matters of conjecture, largely because Khomeini regards such personal details as unimportant. It is not known whether his birth date is actually May 17, 1900, as Tehran newspapers assert, or whether his wife of 50 years?Quesiran, or Khadijah, as different spellings have it???is his first or second spouse. Almost all Western translations of his basic prerevolutionary teachings are of doubtful authenticity or accuracy. In particular, a howlingly funny French translation of some of his remarks?dealing with, among other things, the proper attitude of Muslims toward the meat of a camel that...
...impossible to detect. Putting the theory into elegant mathematical form, the Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz added another idea: permeating the structure of all matter, the ether would also slow down clocks traveling through it???in fact, just enough so light's speed would always seem constant...
