...sees between games, to the intensely competitive player one sees on the fields, is not something that comes with the imbibing of a little locker room elixir, a-la Jeckyll and Hyde. The hardnosed Brynteson is the character that has emerged during the last three years during her late-in-life apprenticeship in competitive sports...
...with a stigma I don't deserve," declared Michaelides. "My goal is restoration of my name, and the return of the objects taken from me, and permanent disassociation from the pure maliciousness that prompted the accusations." At Staunton Hill, meanwhile, Sasha's grave is empty. Her body was exhumed late last year for an autopsy, after which her remains were cremated and buried in Maryland near her father's grave. The romantic headstone originally provided by Michaelides has been thrown away...
...express finally chugged into its Zambian terminal eleven hours late. We were lucky at that. Freight trains normally require 20 days or more to make the round trip, owing to equipment failures, crashes, derailments and endemic small-scale pilfering. About 30% of the 2,100 freight cars, and up to a third of the locomotives, are out of commission at a time...
...Jackson Pollock's least scribble might be less fierce if a skidding car had not sent him the way of James Dean. And what of Mark Rothko, who killed himself with a razor and pills in 1970?

In a grisly sort of way, Rothko's suicide has been taken by the art market...
...with color bleeding through it. It is never crude and only rarely inert. In this way a most sonorous pictorial eloquence is placed at the service of incommunicable feelings, and the sad facts of Rothko's life rush in to complete the missing subject matter. In a sense, the late works are declarations of the impotence of painting: it could not blot up enough anguish, or take the burden of existence away from the artist. The Black Hole expanded to fill the canvas, but no surface could contain the hole. ?Robert Hughes
