...Beacon consisted of nothing but that sort of thing, a long visit would feel like being swatted all day with the complete works of Hegel. But Dia also collects much juicier artists. John Chamberlain's hunks of automobile metal, cut and welded, crushed and painted, build multicolored bridges between Abstract Expressionism and Pop. Not far from his galleries, there's a mini-show of Agnes Martin's delectable paintings, broad washes of color over a rectangular gridwork of lines drawn with a slightly trembling pencil. Something sings across those shivering wires. Dia also has the space to present some...
...instantly became one of Hollywood's great scandals--the mysterious death of Thomas Ince during a cruise on William Randolph Hearst's yacht in 1924. Officially he died of natural causes, but rumor had Hearst murdering him. This film opts for the juicier tale.

Alfred Taubman, was behind the plan that allegedly bilked patrons out of tens of millions over six years. Among the juicier sound bites: when investigators were closing in and Brooks refused to meet with Taubman without a lawyer present, she testified, Taubman told her, "Just don't act like a girl." On the same occasion, she said, Taubman held up a photograph of her and warned, "You'll look good in stripes...
...revelations enthrall those who absorb daily reports from local newspapers and television stations. Starting at 6 a.m., a TV reporter stands in the dark outside the federal courthouse for a "live" report on the preceding day's testimony and the promise of ongoing coverage. Each new day brings juicier details. But most revealing has been the harsh light shed on Atlanta's thriving adult entertainment industry...
