...goes through weeks of sometimes tearful self-improvement and self-display. There are trips to Palo Alto to work with her orchestrator. Hairdresser John Bettiol works over her for hours, striving for that perfect balance between wholesomeness and sophistication. He coaxes Christine's permed frizz into a Cosmo-mane of curls, daubing her face with goo and powder. Sneaking a peek in the mirror, she is aghast. Her mouth is caked in red sludge. "It should have blood dripping from it," she jokes. The photographer is unimpressed. What Christine hates most is the fake eyelashes...
...great modernists whom he coached and championed, Pound never prepared a public face. Even at 83, he remained unsmiling and ill at ease in front of the camera, although he had come to look like the personification of an aging bard. His unruly hair had whitened into a mane, and his face bore lines and wrinkles beyond the mere ravages of time.

He could hold forth for hours on any subject, his hands brushing back his unkempt white mane. And his poetry revealed the same confiding voice that animated his conversation. The controlled metrics of Lord Weary's Castle and The Mills of the Kavanaughs (1951) show the influence of Lowell's mentors, Allen Tate and John Crowe Ransom. In Imitations (1961), freely licensed translations of European...
...June 11, the majestic chestnut thoroughbred Seattle Slew may gallop to fame on the brown dirt of Belmont, as he attempts to become the first undefeated Triple Crown winner in racing history. Standing 16 1/2 hands from hoof to mane, Slew is a rarity among race horses in that he never has to be whipped...
