...S.T.O.A., for Slow Talkers of America, is being interviewed. The deliberately spaced speech of the S.T.O.A. man gradually rattles and irritates the interviewer. He begins trying to speed things up by finishing the S.T.O.A. man's sentences. It doesn't work.

All of the contradictory qualities that are to make up her mordantly gripping performance she foreshadows in mime: hauteur and anxiety, narcissism and feelings of revulsion toward her femininity, commanding energy and naked...
Tchaikovsky once wrote to his patroness Nadezhda von Meek: "A creative artist leads a double life, one part of it being human, the other artistic. They do not always coincide." They still don't. The real question is which Tchaikovsky will turn up on the Late Show (munch, crunch) ten years from...
