...from the foot of Capitol Hill to the Washington Monument, there glitters the newest star of the Smithsonian Institution. The National Air and Space Museum (NASM), a huge, elegant hangar designed by St. Louis Architect Gyo Obata, is a cathedral to man's fascination with flight. Surfaced in pink Tennessee marble and bronze-tinted glass, the museum houses many of the great artifacts of aviation and space travel in a three-story structure 680 ft. long. A Washington rarity in that it was finished on time and within the $40 million budget, the museum was officially opened just prior...
...Tickled Pink. Bishop Davis, a guest officiant from Erie, Pa., then went on to make history. At 3:20 p.m. he laid his hands on the frizzy blonde head of the white-robed woman kneeling before him and intoned: "Therefore, Father, through Jesus Christ your Son, give your Holy Spirit to Jacqueline; fill her with grace and power and make her a priest in your church." Some of the 45 priests who joined in the service clothed her in a white chasuble, the outer vestment of her new office...
...idea of a feminine sensibility-fluffy, vaporous, pink-and-white-retreats before most of the work in this show, the sense of female experience does not. That theme is announced almost at once, in the work of Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1652), the daughter of a well-known Tuscan painter, who became, as Nochlin puts it, "the first woman in the history of Western art to make a significant and undeniably important contribution to the art of her time." Gentileschi's Susanna and the Elders (1610) is a work of staggering precocity, painted when she was 17. Beauty spied...
...Pink Panther Strikes Again opens we find poor Dreyfus (Herbert Lom) recovering very nicely. Indeed, on this very day he is about to be released from the sanitarium. Alas for his hopes, but good for the movie, Clouseau has picked this moment to make a courtesy call on his old colleague. This results in repeated dunkings in a lake for poor Lom, a suspicion on the part of passers-by that he may be a homosexual-and, finally, total relapse...
Suppressed Eroticism. With a canny mix of showmanship and a keen instinct for his craft, Baryshnikov has devised solutions that infuse his Nutcracker with logic as well as magic. There is the traditional Christmas tree that grows onstage, a puppet show and a pretty pink and white sleigh to transport Clara and her prince. But there is no Sugar Plum Fairy and the cast is entirely adult. Clara, danced by Marianna Tcherkassky, hovers somewhere between child and woman. Her godfather Drosselmeyer, brilliantly portrayed by Alexander Minz, is both fatherly and aboil with suppressed eroticism. Baryshnikov accents mystery and the paradox...
