...refine himself out of existence would prove, on the surface, futile, however: his desire for incorporeality, that the "artist must manage to make believe that he never existed," is never quite achieved in any of his fiction and completely betrayed by his published correspondence. Flaubert's letters, in which profound statements on art and deeply personal confessions coexist with mordant wit and bloodcurdling obscenity, constitute as full a self-portrait of the artist as we are likely to get from any writer...
...Many antiwar protesters were sincerely trying to find answers to the profound moral questions Viet Nam raised about the legitimate uses of American power, and about the nature of the struggle in Indochina.

Instead, we have 30 faceless figures, paragons of modern man, wandering around, not doing anything at all interesting, just waiting in line until their inevitable slaughter. It's a disutopia that would terrify even Kafka...
...This profound expression of universal brotherhood was penned by two men who combine the all American integrity of Wayne Newton with the political sophistication of Pia Zadora: Michael Jackson and Fionel Richie. Instigated by Band Aid organizer (and Boomtown Rats packleader) Bob Geldorf and produced by Quincy Jones, USA for Africa has more celebs per square inch than the Grammys. Recorded in a session inscribed upon destiny by Life magazine and a video crew, the song is lumped on old vinyl with a Canadian cousin ("Tears Are Not Enough") and some outtakes of other artists...
