...struts Mick Jagger with a snigger, dressed entirely in black, a long pinkish scarf hanging from his neck, an Uncle Sam hat straight from Chappaqua on his head. The omega-like sign of Leo, fiery and domineering, the sign of a king, is printed on his chest. "Well alright," he shouts at the audience, looking the perverse offspring of a Rimbaud or a Wilde, and like a voodoo prince he pumps his hips twice and begins to dance. Pouting, leering, his fat lips flapping, his eyes hopped in derision, he is the shaman, the witch we have waited...
...body was embalmed and buried. The Kopechnes' lawyers called Dr. Werner Spitz, deputy chief medical examiner for Maryland and an expert on drowning cases, who said that anatomical evidence of drowning would already have disappeared.* Spitz argued that Mary Jo did in fact drown-but not immediately. A pinkish froth around the nose, he said, indicated that she "remained alive for a certain time" while the car was under water in Poucha Pond. "She breathed, that girl," Spitz said.

The makeup had nothing to do with his role in the U.S. premiere of Hans Werner Henze's The Stag King. It is a ritual that Shirley, 31, performs before every opera, a mask to disguise one of his real-life characteristics-that he is a Negro...
...recommended that buyers interested in doorstops consider the color scheme of the room which contains the door to be stopped. Samples: SHAKESPEARE: TEN GREAT PLAYS (502 pp.; Golden Press; $12.95) has a pinkish grey dust jacket, suitable for pinkish grey rooms. Why, however, print only ten of Shakespeare's plays? And why lard them out with puerile illustrations? The answer, possibly, is so that the publisher can charge $12.95 for literature in the public domain...
