...most of us were on-topic in high school. I was, for a year and a half. It's very, very intense." Burned out at 18, they seek refuge in the unruly rumble of off-topic. "Sometimes," says Sanford Cohen, an off-topic Columbia junior, "it's pure theater...
...vintage cartoon by Saul Steinberg shows a baroque room, all gold and curlicues; in it, a maestro is delicately prodding at a canvas filled with a grid of straight lines - a Mondrian, pure and polemical, red-yellow-blue-gray-white-black, utterly incongruous against the florid décor of the 19th century.

Shuttling between Osterizer and station wagon, Diane Keaton oozes domesticity as much as she radiates pure will in Reds. But Faith Dunlap is a much less interesting woman and wife than Louise Bryant, and provides a much less challenging character for Keaton's talents. Albert Finney portrays her husband George, the archetypal, egotistical-yet-vulnerable San Francisco writer. They bicker in a picturesque old clapboard house...
