...power-sheer "bluster and growl" to ward off a powerful competitor. Frank even suggested therapy. "In approaching a deeply suspicious person," he cautioned, "it does not pay to be too friendly. Since he is convinced that you mean him no good, he is prone to misinterpret an overly friendly manner as an effort to put something over on him. So a firm, reserved, but not unfriendly manner makes more headway than effusiveness." In many ways, Frank's description was a fair presentation of the present U.S. stance vis-a-vis Red China...

Such commissions, plus his close interest in the Pre-Raphaelites, led him to stained glass. He concocted his own kind of opalescent glass, more in the manner of Tiffany than of Chartres. Its milky jewel quality earned him a Legion of Honor from the French and the chance to design windows for the Harvard Chapel in London's Southwark Cathedral...

There was little danger of transplant rejection, because heart-valve tissue has a negligible...
...Bonheur translates the French word for happiness into an exquisite fable of infidelity, set to music by Mozart, delicately filmed in the impressionist manner of Renoir, and committed to an utterly cynical contemporary view of the gap between male and female sensibility. Writer-Director Agnès Varda (Cleo From 5 to 7) suffuses the screen with a rueful, youthful, radiant mood, creates a world of innocence and beauty that looks like an invitation for romping barefoot through fields of wildflowers newly abloom. Only later does she reveal that every blossom holds a thorn...
