Producing our ads is something of a high-wire act. Television ads featuring the current issue begin appearing Sunday morning, as the magazine goes to press. So they must be produced as editorial pages are being completed. The solution: a manic production schedule coupling satellite links, chartered trucks, postmidnight meetings -- in short, the general hubbub and commotion on which Lois thrives...
...like the "poetry moments," featuring various sidemen reading silly verse. Musically, the show has brought on a host of rock performers -- Kool Moe Dee, Living Colour, Winger -- who rarely get exposure on mainstream TV. And in contrast to the carefully stage-managed routines on the Tonight show, Hall's manic energy sends a signal that just about anything can happen at his nightly party.

Batman's style is both daunting and lurching; it has trouble deciding which of its antagonists should set the tone. It can be as manic as the Joker, straining to hear the applause of outrage; it can be as implosive as Batman-Bruce, who seems crushed by the burden of his schizoid eminence. This tension nearly exhausts the viewer and the film...
...life, in 1987, Levi was in the headlines again, for having leaped down the stairwell of the apartment house where he had lived since birth. Whether this despairing act occurred because the scars of Auschwitz were too terrible to endure or whether Levi suffered from manic- depressive syndrome, nobody knows. He writes here, concerning two German poets who committed suicide, that "the obscurity of their poetry ((is)) a pre-suicide, a not-wanting-to-be"; and about his own writing, by contrast, that "I have an acute need for clarity and rationality."
