...doodle until the canvas is full, making wacky parodies of "all-over" composition. They like space-cadet imagery, sieved through childhood memories of the tail-finned and Lurexed '50s. They are chirpy and cheery, or woozily pseudoromantic; or, if neither of these, then vacantly tough. Their work is all pose and no position. Thus, from Kenny Scharf's mural of Silly Putty aliens in a galactic landscape of squiggles and David Wojnarowicz's repulsive Attack of the Alien Minds, through the visual fatuities of Rodney Alan Greenblat and Jedd Garet, the biennial celebrated what its curators evidently took...

Then when people reviewed the album, they kept talking about my cute belly button. I started thinking about it and I said, "Yeah, well, I do like my belly button." I think there are other unobvious places on the body that are sexy and the stomach is kind of innocent. I don't have a really flat stomach. I sort of have a little girl's stomach. It's round and the skin is smooth...

Analysts say because the announcement coincided with the start-up of talks between Peking and Moscow, it is possible Hu was trying to calm Soviet fears that Sino-U.S. relations might pose some kind of military threat. It is also possible that Hu, who made the statement while on a visit to Australia, was trying to ensure a warm welcome at his next port of call, New Zealand, where the government has locked horns with Washington over its own ban on nuclear-armed...
