MICHAEL BOSKIN, 33. When he was an undergraduate at Berkeley in the 1960s, Boskin remembers, the young were radicals and the older people conservatives. In his profession now, he finds the alignments almost exactly reversed-because of the disillusionment of the students of yesterday. Says he: "The older generation held out too much promise for being able to fine-tune the economy and eliminate all its problems by Government intervention...
...plaster molds, for instance, are the direct ancestors of Duane Hanson's ultrarealist wax people), his connections to Pop look tenuous indeed. In this changed context, it is the figures and their mood, rather than their surrounding artifacts, that one notices first; and they connect to an older realist tradition, far from the self-consciousness and media-play of Pop.

Manicured paths line the cemetery itself, and they can be wonderful places to wander when you want to be alone and outdoors...
...time . . . Just keep goin'. If you didn't work, they'd ship you right out of there. They don't need ya. They can always get somebody else." The gritty, childish voice holds the film together. Originally, the narration was to have been spoken by Brooke Adams, the older actress who plays Gere's lover. But Days of Heaven came to be Linda's film...
