...couldn't believe my three eyes," said the alien, a 9-ft.-tall assemblage of humps, arms and legs, outfitted in silver overalls and bronze boots. "This planet is so much like my own. When I landed in my pink space ball, the sunset lighted up tall nonnatural structures that resembled the state housing collectives back home. I've gone through your papers and read all about the two-headed Abominable Snowmen and the psychic cures for arthritis -- Oh, the secret balsam-water diet that lets you lose 40 lbs. in two days and prevents tooth decay? Leonid wants...

In Putnam's words, "It takes time for people to become major scholars whether they are male, female, black, white or pink." But is that an excuse not to push ahead...
...work, attempting to reconstruct it in terms of something other than empirical vision. Velazquez's influence appears in unexpected places: if, for instance, one wants to know where Philip Guston felt some of the authority for his last paintings lay, where those eloquently clumsy speckled gray-and-pink shapes looked back to, one need only consult passages in Velazquez like the extraordinary plumage of the headdress worn by Queen Mariana for his formal portrait of her in the Prado.

...Gacha. Colombian television showed viewers some indications of the drug lords' obscenely lavish life-styles. One of Rodriguez Gacha's spreads north of Bogota boasts several swimming pools, an artificial lake and a two-acre flower garden. Another Rodriguez Gacha mansion, inside Bogota, features a crystal staircase set amid pink marble walls and bathrooms equipped with gold-plated fixtures and rolls of Italian toilet paper on which were printed copies of classic artworks. Escobar's prize possession, a 1,000-acre ranch known as El Napoles, even had a private zoo stocked with giraffes, dwarf elephants, rhinoceroses and some...
