...cool, infrangible poise of David Hockney's still lifes and portraits. Pierre Alechinsky, the Belgian painter, is represented by a group of delectably complex, exuberant paintings, swarming with organic life like microscope slides rendered in calligraphy. There is a group of Sobreteixims by the 82-year-old Joan Miro, hangings woven from thick knotted clumps of rope, charred and then painted with undiminished vitality...
...women wear CASTRATE RAPISTS buttons. In Florida this year, feminists tracked and beat up a rape suspect who allegedly preyed on lonely women in singles bars.

He was 15 at the time, said Buchwald, "and I think she seduced me." Comedienne Joan Rivers spent $42 on a brand new dress for the big event. "The whole thing lasted about a minute and a half," she reported, "including buying the dress." Actor Jack Lemmon was a student at Harvard whose big encounter became a case of coitus interruptus when a parking-lot attendant discovered him entangled...
