...noon, many people gathered at the Grand Hotel, a pink elephant of a building with a view over the port (impressively clean) and the Royal Palace (depressingly severe). The reason was simple. The U.S. Population Institute served a delicious free lunch there: marinated river salmon with sweet mustard, herring in fresh cream, tiny meat balls, thick slices of rare roast beef. To ask an environmentalist to dine, however, is to ask for trouble. Dr. Samuel Epstein, the Cleveland toxicologist who first warned of the harmful effects of the detergent component nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), contended that the beef was full...
...stadium stands, thousands of youngsters flipped color cards to form a pictorial backdrop for another 45,000 youngsters performing ballet and theatrical maneuvers, including realistic battle scenes from the Korean War. Thousands of other Pyongyang residents, carrying pink paper flowers, watched the spectacle: "The two-hour performance included a series of nearly 200 mosaics," wrote Salisbury, "that made those half-time card spectacles at Big Ten football games look like amateur night...
...seek her help in detecting illness; several reputable doctors in the area bring patients to her for diagnostic clues. Her information, in true spiritualist tradition, comes from "spirit guides," friendly sources on the "spirit side" who offer secret information to the "earth plane."

The effect is not of a grand abstract-expressionist gesture, but rather a quiet, inexorable accumulation of incidents...
Light drifts slowly up through the paint and glows silently on the surface. Paintings that seem monochrome - Resnick's work always has one dominant color, whether cobalt blue, pink or a peculiarly sensuous acid green - disclose, on study, fascinating inflections and qualifications. These nuances constitute a structure. Resnick's paintings, unlike those of some so-called "lyrical abstractionists" 20 years his junior, never go soft or flossy; they are controlled by an iron will to form. Except that the forms do not become explicit; they remain stored in the pigment like warmth in stone. · Robert Hughes
