...does not quite work the other way. Most Americans may never have heard of Steinberg, but the influence of that clear, epigrammatic line and dry wit has been felt throughout American design and illustration for almost two generations. Moreover, his motifs are almost subliminally recognizable: the wry face whose nose turns into a detachable line, the worried cats, the Ruritanian flourishes and curlicues, the apocalyptic scenes of street riots and urban breakdown, the setting of the bizarre commonplaces of American life in a cosmopolitan matrix. Such details of Steinberg's work constitute a signature and have subtly altered America...
...game hijinx at chilly MIT were particularly spectacular yesterday. Shortstop Burke St. John demonstrated some juggling ability of Harvard Square kiosk quality, while lanky Steve Baloff's ability to balance a fungo bat on his nose is a gift that few others can claim.

...shove. Allen Ginsburg as some sort of earth father reminds us that the Beats for all their wildness never had the discipline for truly great poetry and points up what an old fool he is today, with his mantras and Indian charms--someone should drape a sign over his nose "Gone east. Be back in another incarnation." Hawkins is a bare survivor of '50s ock; his Hawks went on to better things as The Band while he grew bloated. Ronee Blakelee is as terrified of Dylan in the movie as she was on stage in the tour. Only Blue keeps...
...Scott and Ernest, "a documentary reconstruction of their friendship and estrangement," Matthew Bruccoli suggests it was Hemingway who had his nose pressed up against the glass. "I am getting to know the rich." Hemingway told Max Perkins and Critic Mary Colum at lunch. And it was Colum who replied, "The only difference between the rich and the other people is that the rich have more money." Making Fitzgerald the victim of this putdown, says Bruccoli, was one of several instances when Hemingway adjusted embarrassing truths to preserve his image...
