...Indeed, Fisher did allow Wolf to display any and all of his works at a Dudley House reception sponsored by the Lesbian, Bisexual and Gay Graduate Students association last Thursday night, in commemoration of World AIDS Day. The master merely insisted that certain, particularly graphic, works--including one homoerotic pose of two nude men embracing and one of a nude woman--be removed after the reception...
Indeed much of the diplomatic discussion last week focused on ways to bail out: how to withdraw the 24,000 U.N. peacekeepers should the need arise quickly, an undertaking that could pose appalling dangers.

This season two N.F.L. injuries in particular have helped focus attention on the threat that concussions pose not only to a player's career but also to his long-term health.

So maybe it's time for her to hit Broadway and take over the Rizzo role in Grease. Wherever Paglia goes, she will make sure she's the leader of the pack...
...traffic cop to the color scheme -- to the red telephone, awning, sweater, and so on. Kieslowski has a fashion photographer's showy sense of pictorial alienation. He'll isolate Valentine (as in Valentine's Day, heart, red; get it?) in a corner of the film frame or pose her in an attitude of anxious ennui. It's the most literal-minded form of movie expressionism: meticulous, handsome, remote...
