...idea of evaluating the intellectual and emotional makeup of a child by analyzing his drawings did not originate with Kaufman and Burns. Ever since the 1920s, psychologists have been measuring intelligence by asking children to draw a person (the D-A-P test). For the past two decades, clues to children's emotional problems have been found in their drawings of a house, a tree and a person (the H-T-P technique). By requiring children to draw their families in action, however, Kaufman and Burns believe they have opened new avenues of investigation. In fact, they say, kinetic...
...among actors as a bad-luck play," he maintains, "is that it's done in the dark, and people are always falling off parapets and breaking their ribs." Polanski is bringing it into the daylight. His witches are not spirits, but real, scruffy women. His actors, wearing no makeup, speak the Shakespearean verse conversationally. Authenticity is Polanski's byword; he uses it to mean 'not so much chronological accuracy as "a look that can make people believe all this actually happened...

"It is perhaps best at collecting taxes." Increasingly, the collection of public moneys depends on personal and corporate income tax, a form of levying largely reserved for the Federal Government. Meanwhile the traditional base for municipal taxation-real estate-has stagnated, largely because of the move of businesses and middle-class...
...film be a bomb after the New York Times called it "perfection"? More waiting, tempers rising. Then, ten minutes later, comes the second wave, the other 95% of the audience. This is more like it. Wet-eyed men looking neither right nor left. Girls carrying men's handkerchiefs, eye makeup gone, gazing at sidewalks. All victims of Erich Segal's Love Story, the five-Kleenex weeper, the marzipan heartbreaker. It has actually taken them ten minutes just to compose themselves enough to face the real world again...
