...react to this bizarre and compelling summer series. How, for example, to decipher the soul behind a face as beautiful, iconic and unknowable as O.J. Simpson's? On Friday he listened to the coroner's droning, explicit testimony of the wounds that caused Nicole Simpson's death. Raw emotion played on his features, but what emotion? Shock? Remorse? Fury? We have spent thousands of hours watching cop shows and love stories, intuiting feelings from faces. A glance at O.J. proved that there are some secrets even TV cannot reveal...
...between the young boy who grew up feeling rejected, humiliated and despised and a nation that has just emerged from seven decades of dictatorship feeling abused, deprived and defeated. Little wonder that ordinary Russians respond to this man; his feelings of persecution, which he has honed to an exquisitely raw edge, reify their own dislocated sense of what has happened to their country and their lives. And by projecting the angers and fears of his dysfunctional childhood onto the national stage, Zhirinovsky has managed to transform his personal antipathies into a political world view that resonates throughout an entire country...
...middle age ended Dali's; but the films they made together (An Andalusian Dog, 1929, and The Golden Age, 1930) remain classics of provocation. For a few years, Lorca and Dali found themselves in a trance of mutually reinforcing narcissism.

The band started modestly, putting out two albums on a tiny Berkeley record label (Lookout!), but now, on their major-label debut (Warner Bros./Reprise), their raw three-chord rock is finding a wider audience (Dookie has sold 600,000 copies). This summer Green Day is set to pull off a cross- generational coup -- the group will not only tour with the hip annual Lollapalooza music festival, it will also play the nostalgia-laden 25th anniversary of Woodstock. So rock's torch is passed on. Look for Green Day to light some fires...
...author of Gal is a 33-year-old former employee at a plant nursery who is the wife of a restaurant worker and the mother of five children. She has adopted the pseudonym Ruthie Bolton to spare her family embarrassment over some of the raw events she writes about. Josephine Humphreys, 49, is a Charleston native and a highly regarded novelist. Her Dreams of Sleep, Rich in Love and The Fireman's Fair have impressed readers and reviewers with their perceptiveness, their quiet humor and their blend of the courtly conservatism and racy spirits that have survived in and around...
