...typically painted in a single color, or two or three adjoining forms, each a different color. They obeyed the minimalist law that art should be a thing that can be apprehended all at once, with no painterly composition and a minimum of visual intricacies. But resolute minimalists like Donald Judd and Robert Morris were also busy expelling from art anything that resembled meaning, any reference to biological form or emotional states outside the work. From the start Tuttle was different. He wanted people to associate things he made with things they knew. He gave his works yielding names that invited...
Cartoonist Judd Winick met his future wife Pam Ling on season three of The Real World. Now he's used her Chinese-American culture as the springboard for the story of a sarcastic 11-year-old who is the Te Xuan Ze, the protector of humanity from supernatural villains. It's a little derivative of Buffy the Vampire Slayer--O.K., a lot--but Juniper has its own clever twists; for instance, only she can see her monster enemies. Let it never be said nothing good came out of reality...
...octogenarian rapscallions are evoked in two of the most remarkable performances of the year. Cleavon Little and Judd Hirsch totter convincingly as men whose eyes are blear with glaucoma and cataracts and whose hips are fragile, "like a teacup."

At 39, Naomi Judd had no great familiarity with gems or with manicures--this was her first--and she was barely getting accustomed to celebrity. "I heard you were making it big as a singer, and I pictured you in a gingham dress," said a friend...
...should be said flat-out then: Naomi Judd and her daughter Wynonna, 21, are not only good enough to be jealous of, they are good enough to kick a little life into the listless country scene. "Disk jockeys are saying the Judds saved country music," says Naomi, in a slightly incredulous tone. It is at least true that the sweet-flowing harmonies of this mother-and-daughter act have earned them a brace of awards, including a 1985 Grammy, and sprightly record sales and airplay. They have also roped in a wide audience all the way from down-home...
