Twenty years ago, Kennedy had just won the Nebraska primary. Roy Lichtenstein's celebrated pop portrait on the cover of TIME captured all the vibrancy and passion of Kennedy's surging campaign. Three weeks later Bobby lay on the floor of the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. The anniversary of that heady quest and its horrifying finale has become an occasion for a subdued outpouring of nostalgia, bespeaking a sense that something is missing in the year of Bush and Dukakis. A week ago, about 800 people -- led by such old colleagues as Paul Schrade, Arthur Schlesinger...
...global epic, the CIVIL warS, which will be performed in December as the closing attraction of the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Next Wave Festival, now in its fourth season. The academy, affectionately known as BAM, has become a national showcase for avant-garde work; its president, Harvey Lichtenstein, is the movement's Sol Hurok. When Lichtenstein courageously produced Wilson's The Life and Times of Sigmund Freud in 1969, few thought Wilson's glacially paced musings would be the stuff of box-office success.

The art is a departure from the flat, lurid drawing associated with comics ever since Roy Lichtenstein made his fortune with it; Miller uses shadows and suggestions to conceal the absurd aspects of his medium--we all saw how silly a man really looks in a Batman suit--and inventive panel arrangement to exploit its strengths. Klaus Janson's inking adds depth to the art, and the coloring, by Lynn Varley, is subtle and effective...
...five-story-high, acrylic-on-canvas painting is about to become his only monumental mural on permanent display, says Pop Artist Roy Lichtenstein. Mural with Blue Brushstroke is set right into a limestone wall of the new atrium lobby at the Equitable Life Assurance Society's New York City headquarters. Finished in a month of work and ready for a gala formal unveiling next week, the 68-ft. by 32-ft. painting has Lichtenstein's trademark comic-book dot matrix and Swiss-cheese motif. Working for a major corporation for the first time "did not present any problems," says...
