...Bahama Mama," yells Danny Rivero, 23, from amid 102 degrees hot-tub bubbles high up on the ship's sun deck. Fellow passenger Renato Deoliveira, 19, obediently passes along a lethal concoction of 151-proof Myers's rum, apricot brandy, coconut rum and fruit punch, while Ted and Kay LaTour, a Milwaukee couple in their 60s, laugh indulgently and sink lower in the froth. "Supposedly we're in a recession," says Ted. "But you look around this cruise and wonder...
...narrative" of the galleries is split in half. On the left is the realist tradition of the 19th century, with its impulse to social description, radical criticism and meditation on things as they are -- Daumier, Millet, the Barbizon painters, Fantin-Latour, the rural sentimentalists like Jules Breton, culminating in Courbet at his mightiest (The Studio, The Funeral at Ornans and a portrait of a trout that has more death in it than Rubens could get in a whole Crucifixion). On the right are academic idealism and romanticism, Ingres and his heirs, Delacroix and his, smooth recipes of Grecian flesh...
Although the staff viewed the mismanagement of the diaries affair as a reason to claim greater control of the magazine's content, the Stern management installed a more conservative and prudent editor, Peter Scholl-Latour, a former television commentator.

The magazine's management also returned $200,000 that had been paid by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. for British and Commonwealth publication rights. The placatory efforts backfired. In a statement, some 200 editorial employees labeled the episode "a severe blow against 35 years of Stern credibility." About 100 staffers staged a sit-in at Stern's offices to protest the hiring of Gross and Scholl-Latour because their jobs would merge business...
...magisterial Homage to Thomas Eakins exemplifies the boldness, not to say the rashness, with which Soyer has reached into the past for forms that have faded away after a century or more of desuetude. His picture is modeled after Hommage à Delacroix by Henri Fantin-Latour, who in 1864 lined up seven artists, including Manet and Whistler, and three writers, including Baudelaire, who had been Delacroix's admirers. Fantin-Latour then judiciously posed them beside a portrait of the great French Romantic painter. The composition is as simple as the relationships. Soyer, on the other hand, chose a much...
