...must have played I Just Can't Stop It at least a half dozen times before even beginning to zero in on the lyrics--they whizz by so quickly. "Mirror in the Bathroom" eloquently mocks self-possession, while the protagonist in "Click Click" is like Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver. Suck on this: "Open your mouth/Slide the barrel in/If you don't like it/Just don't do it again." Great poetry! This fascination with power also runs through such songs as "Hands Off ... She's Mine" and "Big Shot," which throws darts at our leaders and points...
...women exist only to be angels, what of our darker thoughts? Some of Gilbert and Gubar's conclusions inspire shouts of "Eureka!" Snow White, for instance, isn't an Oedipal struggle, but a feminist one. The two women--sweet, passive Snow White, and the evil, active Queen are simply mirror images of each other, and the battle is not to win the man but to reconcile the two sides of the feminine psyche. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, written when she was pregnant (an almost continuous state for her from ages 17 to 21), is put in the context of responding...
...know that you're probably thinking, 'Who gives a damn!,' but since everyone else is writing his own opinion, I'll write mine too.

I feel sorry for those of you who feel...
...suggest the strength of the Neue Sachlichkeit tendency to paint a world beyond the spectator's control - not Leger's confidence in technology, but glimpses of an airless place, always the city, with looming buildings, threatening, gray and crystalline, where the exact divisions between things seem to mirror the divisions and conflicts of class that concerned many of the painters. In particular, they obsessed Grosz. One of his friends called him "a Bolshevik in painting, nauseated by painting." This was not quite true, for although Grosz once declared that compared with the practical tasks of political revolution...
Despite all the reports of Chrysler's troubles, Ford appears to be the automaker with the most serious woes. So far this year, it has lost $1.2 billion, a stunning red mirror image of its $1.2 billion profit during the first nine months of last year. Even Ford's once prosperous overseas operations lost $26 million in the third quarter, in contrast to a $402 million profit...
