...metaphors is the relation of the murder and mayhem within Biberkopf's life to the carnage within a slaughterhouse; although this parallel is explored in earlier parts of the film as well, it finds its most successful expression in Biberkopf's psychotic hallucinations. In one particular scene, the nude bodies of Biberkopf and his lover Mieze are tied to an assembly line, and sliced open as though they are cattle. In a similar part of the dream sequence, the still-living bodies of all of Biberkopf's acquaintances are piled in a bloody heap in a white-lit chamber. Biberkopf...
...elegant examples of this newfound painterly restraint. In "Woman in a Chemise (Madeleine)," Picasso sets his subject's creamy profile against a blue-green background. Yet the layering of the image is so delicate and transparent that body slips into background and chemise slips into body. In "Seated Nude (Madeleine)," Picasso goes even further, playing with both line and plane to describe form. He uses thin black lines to distinguish her rust legs from a background of the same color, while only a mottled cream plane indicates the surface of her chest and breasts...
...former French air-force officer and an amateur pilot, was a big teddy bear who brought flowers for the bar's regulars but otherwise left them alone. Josie, the bartender, knew him well.

"Once a piece of information is out there, it's nearly impossible to obliterate," says Christine Varney, a former commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission and a privacy crusader...
...editor's work is never done. Or so it seems in the September issue of George, in which JOHN F. KENNEDY JR. goes to great lengths to boost his magazine's circulation. To complement the cover photo of a nude Kate Moss as Eve, Kennedy sits bare-chested and bare-kneed in dark shadow, gazing pensively at an apple. In the editor's letter, he ruminates on the nature of temptation--"I'm playing Hamlet with my willpower (Should I or shouldn't I?)." The literary reference must suffice to convey his torment because he coyly declines to reveal...
