...from automatism to paint his big surprising "lost mural," At The First Clear Word, on two adjoining bedroom walls of Surrealist poet Paul Eluard's house outside Paris. The show reunites the long-separated panels for the first time, to tantalize us with apparent riddles about the ménage à trois in which Ernst and Eluard were engaged with Eluard's beautiful wife Gala. One panel depicts a hand clutching a ball and extending through a window, its fingers twisted into what could be a woman's - Gala's? - torso. The other depicts a row of almost military-looking...
...ANGELO, VOODOO: Slick as chicken grease. Hotter than summer asphalt. D'Angelo summoned old ghosts - Jimi and Marvin - and woke up a new artistic spirit in R&B. Voodoo is a ménage à trois of soul, hip-hop and jazz, all tangled up like lovers caught in the act. Even as D'Angelo pays homage to music's past, he proves the future is in good hands...
...magnificent screw-you gesture. Or she can be a victor, in Waiting to Exhale, where most of the guys are so lame and preening that there's little triumph in outsmarting them. The set piece in both films was blowing up an automobile: sexual revenge as car-nage. But that was not nearly so explosive as the smoulder of Sharon Stone's sexual menace in Basic Instinct.

Indeed, many Lebanese now believe that only the Syrians can bring a halt to the bloodshed. Prime Minister Rashid Karami late last week demanded "the deployment of Syrian observers in all of Beirut." With the U.S. no longer playing a leading role in trying to end the car nage, Syria has increasing influence over its neighbor, largely due to the 25,000 Syrian troops stationed mostly in the eastern part of Lebanon. President Hafez Assad sought to extend that influence last month when Lebanese Muslim leaders, meeting in Damascus, drew up a 16-point plan that would increase their political...
...true believer in the imperium of style. Those who had the divine spark got to ride through life on a silk cushion, inventing their own rules and then ignoring them, cutting the boorish infidels down with gay, rapier wit. Thus it is with the merrily amoral ménage in Design for Living, a triangle with some complex emotional geometry. Otto (Frank Langella) and Leo (Raul Julia) are friends; Gilda (Jill Clayburgh) and Otto become lovers; Gilda dumps Otto for Leo; Gilda leaves them both for a stuffy art dealer; Otto and Leo liberate Gilda from genteel sobriety. In Coward...
