...mark of Lehmbruck's sculpture is its inwardness. Lank, elongated and contemplative, his figures seem involved in a degree of soul searching that inevitably recalls the earlier romantic artists of 19th century Germany. Lehmbruck was an excellent generalizer but an undistinguished portraitist. He seldom made an individual's face. The earliest known Lehmbruck, a bust of himself done in 1898 at the age of 17, is an exception to this. But it is, as one might expect, a rudimentary effort, stiff and mute. Fifteen years later, when he made his Head of an Old Woman, the image succeeded...
...this flint-eyed, wild-talking pothead could do it, the smart money reasoned, why couldn't any flint-eyed, wild-talking pothead do it? The Easy Rider fashion caught on, lank hair and sideburns became Hollywood's uniform of the day, and a new era was proclaimed...
Students at Stellenbosch University near Cape Town stood, applauded, and sang Lank Sal Hy Lewe (Long May He Live), the Afrikaans equivalent of For He's a Jolly Good Fellow.

His chick Tish (Barbara Hershey) is off to check out an uptight middle-class couple whose triplex in Brentwood is without child. Seems Mrs. Triplex has had a hysterectomy, and Tish is to audition for a possible rent-a-womb job with...
...styles have been wispier (the Char), wilder (the Afro), more exaggerated (the Artichoke) and harder to maintain (the Poodle). But until now, women had not seriously considered a hairdo based on a multitude of lengths, from very short on top, to slightly longer along the sides, to a long, lank finale down the neck. They never considered it for good reason: it was sure to look abominable. But then so do midiskirts. And with hems gone to ungainly lengths, why not hair too? What better way to play both ends against the mini...
