...fluidity of his line and the power the older artist brought to painting the victims of barbaric force -- Delacroix's Massacre at Chios has a long resonance in Daumier's work -- Daumier didn't share his love of the exotic. For Daumier, everything worth drawing happened right under his nose, in the railway carriage, the estaminet, the cellar, the butcher's shop or the lawcourts. Like Balzac or Dickens, Daumier worked out of immersion in the muck and detail of life as it was lived...
Deanie Gauthier, who calls herself the Mutant, is in far worse shape. She's a foul-mouthed outcast a couple of years younger than Sam; her response to sexual abuse by her mother's boyfriend is self-abasement in several directions. She shaves her head and wears a nose ring and chains, shrugs at kindness and buys drugs with sex. But she plays ball with amazing ferocity, and she and Sam lead their respective teams to the Maine championships, falling into a sad, touching losers' love affair along...
...claimed he has had only minimal plastic surgery, referring viewers to his 1988 biography Moonwalk, in which he admitted to having had his nose removed -- sorry, remodeled -- and a chin cleft made. And he denied he bleached his skin to its current Kabuki whiteness as a renunciation of his ethnic roots: "I am proud to be a black American."

...Nevertheless, cyberpunk may be the defining counterculture of the computer age. It embraces, in spirit at least, not just the nearest thirtysomething hacker hunched over his terminal but also nose-ringed twentysomethings gathered at clandestine RAVES, teenagers who feel about the Macintosh computer the way their parents felt about Apple Records, and even preadolescent vidkids fused like Krazy Glue to their Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis games -- the training wheels of cyberpunk. Obsessed with technology, especially technology that is just beyond their reach (like BRAIN IMPLANTS), the cyberpunks are future oriented to a fault. They already have one foot...
...first encounter with Harvard Square was on a warm summer night in 1987. A friend and I, both still believing that the Square was a funky urban paradise, were walking along Dunster Street. Out of nowhere, a hyperactive skinhead ran up to us, punched me in the nose and promptly ran away. I don't lack experience with the big city. The standard mugger protocol is to ask for the wallet, and failing victim compliance, to take it by force. This clownish freak skipped that step entirely. What is done in other cities for lucre is done here for love...
