Five Breaks. Bull riding requires no spurring. Bulls are mad enough as it is. What is needed is balance, and raw courage-the courage to climb aboard a heaving, spinning animal that outweighs you by nearly a ton, and stay there for 8 sec. Mahan readily admits to a natural distaste for bulls: "No horse, no matter how mean, will deliberately charge you after he throws you. But a Brahma bull will; he'll come right after you, hoping...
This cozy little Aeschylean tangle was just the sort of raw meat that Eugene O'Neill liked to chew on; so he fashioned the plot into his monumental 1931 trilogy Mourning Becomes Electra, set in New England at the end of the Civil War. Now the chiller has come alive again with the premiere of Marvin David Levy's Mourning Becomes Electra at the Metropolitan Opera. It was a cause for rejoicing-and mourning...
...first few weeks, it seemed that the Assembly itself, rather than the government or the Viet Cong, would prove to be its own worst enemy.

Noses nudge knowingly from a page dealing with psephology. Five pages of pebbled and scaly abstract photography resolve themselves into a closeup of human toes to make the point: "The wheel is an extension of the foot." One entire spread is printed in Leonardo-like "mirror writing," and another is set upside down just to show how absurd the whole concept of books can be. Indeed, the authors of this...
