...landmarks in modern literature, Steiner says, are works that have pushed language over the precipice of its past-Joyce's Ulysses, the poetry of Mallarmé and Rilke. Painting, too, is language, but the modern practitioners are in total rebellion against the "verbal" or meaningful in art.

Language today can deal only with the surfaces of experience. "The rest, and it is presumably the much larger...
Buracek's book, published by Random House and released this week, includes extensive tables of the prices of chemically equivalent drugs.

Soft, round girls curl up with boy friends on couches beneath immense paintings by Franz Kline and Larry Rivers. The men are relaxed, confident, plainly well off. A scene straight out of Playboy magazine? Precisely. The men are mostly magazine employees, and the girls are some of the 24 bunnies who room upstairs. A couple of centerfold "Playmates," disarmingly pretty and ingenuous-looking in party dresses, sip Pepsi...
