...Ararat, like the Armenian landscape from which it is drawn, is a much drier work. The tremendous stream of poetry in The White Hotel, the sexually surreal "Don Giovanni" portion as well as the deafening violence of the Babi Yar testimony, collaborated to overwhelm the reader. This sensory overload created a flow or wave of feeling, which after it had receded, left the reader feeling a part of the world which he had just experienced--the world of Freud and the Holocaust...
...drawing, in a print like Pergusa Three, has a kind of wristy expansiveness; its loops and contours recall 1930 Picasso, as does Stella's elegant play with collage in the lacy patches within the curves. At times, as in Talladega Three II, the printed surface gets jammed to overload with baroque writhings: it is as though the space left between the wriggling planes of his relief paintings had been crushed down into two dimensions, flattened like a can on the road. Such prints take disorder to the edge of surfeit, the more so because they...
There is a grandiose theatricality about the entire exhibition that, ultimately, gives the clothing a secondary role. For all the sensory overload-the perfume, rooms decorated (courtesy of Cardin) to look like Maxim's, the Offenbach piped in like a sound track for an ancient travelogue-"La Belle Epoque" is less an evocation of mood or an exhibition of high style than it is an exaltation of swank, of money, of society. In that sense it is about fashion, not clothes, historical re-creation without historical perspective...
Such complexities might threaten to cause a computer overload, but even worse, say the owners, is that the plan amounts to paying players like pieceworkers in a ball-bearing factory.

It is certainly alien to the way the N.F.L. has done business. The owners propose to continue their pattern of negotiating individual contracts, but promise that a lot more money will be paid out when all those contracts are added...
...with a double whammy: evidence of betrayal and a lifelong disease as a memento of the event. Some marriages and many relationships end in the discord and lingering suspicion caused by herpes. When only one partner has herpes, anger is a heavy factor, and so is emotional overload: the herpes sufferer leans too much on the mate and the tottering relationship collapses. Says Psychiatrist Elisabeth Herz of George Washington University Medical Center: "Don't expect to cry on the shoulder of the partner. That's what drives couples apart...
