...these are terrestrial and mundane risks. Sharks lurk in the vast, mysterious ocean, an element that still stirs mythic fear. Science is shedding light on why sharks behave the way they do. Researchers are tracking sharks via satellites and coming closer to understanding why they attack humans. The three large sharks that account for most attacks on people--the great whites, the tigers and the bull sharks--have been studied extensively. We now know that great white sharks keep their blood warmer than the surrounding water, that tiger sharks do not return to the site of an attack to prey...
...with atomic energy and electric-blue eyes that alternately charmed and haunted, had dominated every conversation he'd ever had. Einhorn wasn't on a weight-loss program back then. Cross a bear with a man, take away all grooming implements and you get Ira, who considered himself too mythic to bathe regularly or use his given name. Einhorn means "one horn," so he called himself the Unicorn. When it wasn't fair maidens he was after, it was the company of nags like Rubin, Hoffman and Allen Ginsberg. He ingested enough drugs to kill a whale. He organized...

The way one moves in historical spaces is different; one's affiliations, politics, interactions are different. The possibilities are ones of reaction and reassemblage in addition to mythic creation. There is a facility of interconnection: the continual sediment of meaning cross-links landscape and gesture like a fine web, echoing the flightpaths between cities and the subterranean hypertext of subways...
...TANTALUS British theater titans Peter Hall and John Barton use the mythic Trojan War as the centerpiece of their adventurously scaled, sharply written satire of modern politics. This 10-hour marathon, which premiered in Denver, bristles with enough backstabbing drama to keep the slack moments...
Trueba transports artists into the studio, playing them up against iridescent background screens, with colors ostensibly chosen (even if they don't always fit) to reflect each piece's prevailing moods, bathing the musicians in an almost aggrandizing glow. The effect is to catapult these artists to mythic, elevated status, which befits their talents, but not their music's spirit. The studio appears too sterile, too clean compared to the art, which has its roots as a dance music and involves a long history of Dizzy Gillespie's blazing, sweat-soaked solos or Mongo Santamaria's pulsing congas.
