...rather looked as though the Raj had returned to In'ja. Once more the Union Jack fluttered over Delhi's posh Roshanara Club, while pukka sahib types bowled on the cricket pitch. The bar of the Calcutta Light Horse, a regiment founded a century ago, was pink gin-deep in British officers. Some of them, though, looked film-familiar: Gregory Peck, David Niven, Roger Moore and Trevor Howard. The pseudo sahibs were shooting The Sea Wolves, about a daring 1943 attack on a German communications ship anchored off Goa. How did it feel to re-create the days...
...progressive perceptions of death. An early casualty seems almost comic, "marching blindly to Valhalla" off a landing barge into a geyser of exploding water. A hard eye and grim taste for simile take over in a description of a dying German truck driver, "hiccuping great gouts of cherry-pink foam . . . to the accompaniment of a sound like a slush pump."

A black rectangle with minute white stars frames the face as a geometric hair/hat. A sparing use of decisive lines and simple curves reveals Lauren's mastery of a very distilled abstraction...

Whatever their feelings on drugs (limited usually to discussions of "dope" at the high school), most of Farmington couldn't agree more about federal bureaucracy...
...dozen kinds of flower and plant are faithfully recorded, petal by petal, while the rocks themselves take on the surging, crinkled look of brain coral, providing a dream landscape, almost subaqueous, in malachite green, pink and blue, woven to gether by the twisting trees. A tense springiness seems to run through every shape, visible in the arabesques of a bush no less than in the lashing tail of the lion or the trampling feet of the horse Rakhsh...
