Lebrun's figures are simple in the sense that they avoid detail and scrupulous realism, but they lack technical economy. Superfluous lines preclude maximum effects of weight and power, as well as any real linear grace. Despite the artist's great predilection and proven talent for drawing, he has conceived these figures in sculptural terms and consequently his line is most effective when he uses it to suggest volumes. When he uses line seemingly for its own sake, the results are less fortunate...

Brooks's first abstractions were linear affairs, filled with curvy arabesques and an occasional dribble like those of his friend Jackson Pollock. He tried titling them by number, then by letter, now puts nonsense syllables together to make names. Nado, one of his more recent paintings, shows his increased attention to straight lines that act both as a "container and as a dispersing agent." These lines serve not so much to limit areas of what he calls his "funny-paper colors" as to interrupt the contours of the color areas and to stimulate...
Research began when the scientists administered their medicine (formula: 1¾ oz. dry gin + ¼ oz. vermouth + 1 olive). Tests ended "at saturation," when nobody cares. The conclusion: "A linear relationship of 2 db increase of tolerance per martini until the third cocktail became apparent. At this point, another physiological condition gradually occurs within the subject, causing the tolerance to increase on a cumulative basis of 4 db per cocktail until saturation...
