Several obstacles must yet be overcome. Among them: getting the bacteria to produce pure HGH and testing the substance in living creatures, including man. Still, the scientists hope that within two years vats of genetically redesigned E. coli will be acting as minifactories, churning out sufficient somatotropin to treat dwarfism. There may also be enough to test a long held suspicion: that HGH can help heal burns, wounds, bone fractures and even bleeding ulcers...
Arikha is careful to impose these on his work. Each picture must be done in a day; there are no preliminary studies and, especially, no work from photographs, since photography and painting generalize in different ways. His object, brilliantly realized in some parts of his small and sharply edited output, is to make sight and formal deliberation fuse. The conjunctions within Arikha's work, its breadth of language and depth of feeling set off against its insecurity and self-questioning, make it unlike any thing done by an American figurative painter since Edward Hopper. So does its intelligence. Nothing...

His courtship includes a Neapolitan serenade beneath her window and a touching time when he must finally confess his impersonation...
...late in production, the change-Coppola notwithstanding-is usually made in the hope of raising box office receipts. Alterations often come after a preview audience has seen the movie and filled out questionnaires, which are studied by Hollywood executives with the same kind of eager dread White House aides must feel when they pore over the latest Gallup. Even the best and most independent directors find audience reaction helpful: Stanley Kubrick first filmed a wild custard-pie fight between the Americans and the Soviets as a final scene for Dr. Strangelove, but after several previews, he changed his mind...
...final spacecraft scene, but that small snip changed the mood of the story. "I felt the song was going to be perceived as wistful thinking," says the director today. "The audience perceived the film as a current event." Spielberg may return the song to the soundtrack in what must surely be the most extraordinary case of film tinkering ever: he is readying a revised version of Close Encounters, one of the top ten grossers of all time, for release next spring. Besides trimming sequences and adding scenes, Spielberg plans to add new footage to, yes, the ending...
