...part of Claude's re-education, how can we overlook the essential acid trip? It's administered to him eucharistically by Treat Williams, demagogue of our clan. John Savage does amazing things with his face, acquiring a glassy-eyed glazed expression as his mind launches through fabricated fantasies of wedded bliss with the luscious Beverly D'Angelo (former debutante gone bourgeois freak) to fantasies of back home in the mid-west American Gothic nightmare. These are tangents which are intelligent, tightly edited and don't resort to multi-layered montage fade outs. John Savage does a convincing portraval...
...Schreiber's not going to talk about all that. She's had enough of all the speculation about her appointment, and of all the writers who've made their prejudices about women sportswriters obvious in their profiles of her. Of course, one can't overlook the Times's out-of-court settlement of a 1978 class action suit charging it with discriminatory hinning and promotion practices. Or its subsequent agreement to fill 25 per cent of its senior editorial staff positions with women and other minorities. But as A.M. Rosenthal executive editor of the Times, insists.

If one has so many things in one's hands, the day will come when one's fingers begin to itch...
...later artists, from Leonardo and Albrecht Dürer through John James Audubon, captured not merely the physical appearance but the very essence of the creatures that interested them. The work of all these artists is handsomely presented in S. Peter Dance's The Art of Natural History (Overlook Press; unpaginated; $49.50), a handsome, oversized volume that does as much justice to painters and sculptors as it does to their subjects. Naturalists who can afford it will find this book an invaluable reference. Others may want to take a scissors to it; many of the pictures are so lively...
