...public forms fascinated Marsh. For sardonic effect he sometimes reproduced in his paintings Manhattan's steady flow of tabloid headlines (DOES THE SEX URGE EXPLAIN JUDGE CRATER'S STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE?). But above the litter and trash of the streets, Marsh saw in the full-blown women the galvanizing, poetic image of the city. He painted them as triumphant nudes, only incidentally clothed, proud symbols with painted, empty faces...

Garcia and Japanese Representative Toshio Urabe chugged out to the sunken hulk of the Japanese freighter Seiwa Maru, one of the rusty eyesores that litter Manila's harbor and menace navigation.

On that day thousands of citizens flock to the Lion House hill at the Zoo to hurl Easter eggs around, lounge in the sun, litter the grass, trample on other citizens, and harass the police and the National Parks maintenance men.
