...this was one crime in which there could be no doubt that the right man had been caught. Police had not released Berkowitz's first note to them precisely so they could confront any suspect with something only he could answer. How had he signed that note? "The monster," he correctly replied. Partial fingerprints taken from the killer's notes to the police and Breslin matched those of Berkowitz. Ballistics tests showed that the .44-cal. revolver seized from Berkowitz had fired the shots that killed Stacy Moskowitz. The only legal defense against a murder conviction seemed...
...rehabilitated the term detente, which Ford had tried to expunge, U.S.-Soviet relations are at their lowest point in years. The SALT stalemate results, in part, from military advances, such as America's development of the cruise missile and the Soviets' deployment of the Backfire bomber and SS-18 monster-size rockets. But the Carter Administration may bear some blame for the impasse because it badly miscalculated the response that both its human rights campaign and its sweeping arms-reduction proposals last March would trigger from the Russians.

...birthday has raised memorial exhibitions all over Europe. No anniversary of a comparably great figure could launch so many shows, because Rubens was so prolific. A thousand or so paintings, more than 2,000 drawings, sown from Leningrad to Washington: Rubens was the grand inseminator of the Baroque, a monster of controlled fecundity, erudition and discipline.

At the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, over 100 paintings and 60 drawings have been assembled from the world...
...simply ignores or shrugs off, however, his head shrinking toward his collar like a turtle putting out the OUT-TO-LUNCH sign. Short, hunched, with deep lines across his face, Peckinpah looks older than his 52 years. He always gives the impression that he is being stalked by some monster who is about to gobble up him and all his progeny. In a sense he is; the monster is half alimony and half child support. "I don't have the opportunity of turning down pictures," he whispers. "I have three ex-wives and five children...
...takes a great deal of trust. Consider some of the outlandish elements of the play: its baby found in a handbag, its imperious dowager, Lady Bracknell (Elizabeth Wilson), who is "a monster with out being a myth, its one young man, John Worthing (James Valentine), who invents a dissolute brother, and its other young man, Algernon Moncrieff (John Glover), who blithely proceeds to impersonate him. This is farce walking the tightrope of absurdity. But it is also farce at its most urbane - as insolently monocled in manner as it is killingly high-toned in language...
