Director Penn treats with matter-of-factness a situation in which two people can be deeply in love, worry about the health of an aged mother, feel the responsibility of kinship and yet find no moral context for the idea of murder. The law for Bonnie and Clyde is merely the agent of a hostile universe. Clyde's gun, which so mesmerizes Bonnie when she first sees it, is the only potency they possess in the face of total anonymity. But it is, for a time, a very real potency, and Penn refuses to flinch at this fact. The script...
...adapts structural theory to the study of art. In the U.S., the amplifying academic debate commands the ear and the curiosity of non-academicians. Of his books, Structural Anthropology, Totemism, The Savage Mind and Tristes Tropiques are now available in English translation. Two more will arrive in the fall: Kinship Systems and The Raw and the Cooked. Wherever it occurs, the argument about Lévi-Strauss takes fire from his provocative approach to the study of man-which has implications far beyond anthropology...

...romantic mood of Louis' paintings has a atrong kinship with the lyrical, misty spacelessness of the late paintings by Monet. In the Water Lilies, Monet produced a rhapsodic mood of ethereal spacelessness by painting abstract surfaces in which continuously changing relationships of form and color exist for themselves, in spite of some vestigial remains of subject-matter. The rich, almost voluptuous, color of the Louis paintings and the organic growth of the forms have more in common with Art Nouveau. Gauguin's rich palette and his gently curving patterns immediately come to mind. Louis' forms also suggest some affinity...
...Theologian Pauck, there have been more books written about Luther than about any other Christian figure, including Jesus. According to Dean John Dillenberger of Berkeley's Graduate Theological Union, seminary students are showing a new interest in Luther's own writings, finding in them an existential kinship to that favored secular rebel with a cause, Albert Camus. During this anniversary year of the Reformation, there will be Luther-honoring services and seminars in Protestant churches around the globe -including several in East Germany, where the atheist Ulbricht regime officially regards Luther as a spiritual precursor of Marxism...
