...pure Hollywood from start to finish. Fading torch singer moves in with tough-guy actor, and for six years their brawling, bibulous romance careens from movie locations to vacation spas to a Malibu beach house. Then, in 1970, he kicks her out and marries his high school sweetheart. His snuffed flame sues for half the $3.6 million he earned during their relationship, and their affair is recounted in steamy detail during eleven weeks of testimony...
...hostilities are only one part of the strike's legacy. Students of the last decade say their experiences taught them new ways of looking at America's role in the world, and led them to conclude that Vietnam was not an isolated episode or an aberration in an otherwise pure history. "The U.S. is still just as militaristic, just as exploitative, maybe not in such obvious ways," Gabriella says. People who do not see the similarities between American policy in Vietnam and its role in Chile, Nicaragua or Southern Africa suffer from "a failure of imaginative empathy," she says...

The actors try to sink themselves into the pure emotion of the story and pay no attention to the words they...
...this day. Sculpture had been solid since paleolithic man made his fertility dolls, indeed since God made Adam out of clay; it now became a matter of intersecting planes, of wires springing through space, and airy conjunctions of industrial materials-sheet metal, plywood, Celluloid, Bakelite. "Matter is dissolved into pure planes and 3 lines, penetrating each other, devoid of mass and transparent," wrote Author Alexander Dorner in 1931. "Thus instead of a space filled with solid mass . . . a space appears as the crisscrossing of streams of movements and streams of events." Just as the marble hero radiating authority from...
...Russia was the only country in which artists could seriously imagine that abstract art might attain the moral compulsion of a holy picture. Chashnik's Large Suprematist Relief (1920-26), finished a few years before he died at 27, lays no stress on its materials; it is a pure proposition of the kind of half religious ideal that was soon to be censored out of Russian art by Stalin. On the other hand, the work of Iwan Puni and Vladimir Tallin was virtually dialectical materialism transferred into art-"real materials," as Tatlin put it, possibly drawing...
