...name makes such an inviting target-provoked a furious attack from the Art Dealers Association of America, a group of 105 of the leading U.S. dealers. Though not known for its militancy in the past, and hardly opposed to the profit motive, this eminent body went for the jugular. Rocky's reproductions, it said, "are not works of fine art, have no intrinsic aesthetic worth and have little or no resale value." Having denounced this "shameful venture," the A.D.A.A. also called on museums to stop "making and selling pretentious reproductions." In reply, Rockefeller pointed out accurately that "I make...

...British lion may be muted, but Shakespeare still roars. His voice thunders and echoes through the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Coriolanus at London's Aldwych Theater. The play takes place on two fronts, the field of battle and the jugular terrain of class...

...Dylan: Street-Legal (Columbia). Step over here, kids, and watch how the big boys do it. Dylan's past couple of records have found him hitting, missing, mostly flailing, but Street-Legal lands home pretty clean. Among jugular reveries and cyclonic voyages to the end of the night, it is the love songs that stand out. Dylan sings them in a variety of moods: surly wit ("Do you love me/ Or are you just extending good will?"); sidelong irony ("Betrayed by a kiss/ On a cool night of bliss/ In the valley of the missing link"); even a certain...
