...such individual action is extremely difficult. This shunting of the place of individual action into the realm of moral and family life should not be viewed as a descent. Some, if not many, individuals may be better suited to other activities. They may be funny but not courageous, clever but not generous. However, whether they will it or not, these individuals now find that it is their conduct at home and in church that matters...
...main achievement was undoubtedly in the realm of collage, which he picked up where Kurt Schwitters and Joseph Cornell had taken it. Rauschenberg's Combines, as he called them, were made of large-scale junk, his "palette of objects," linked or partly effaced by slathers of paint and often provoked by a single key find. In Canyon, 1959, it was a stuffed eagle that had belonged to an old veteran of the Spanish-American War, an emblem of flight and power that Rauschenberg combined with a photo of a small child gesturing upward and another of distant galaxies.

Unlike most of his contemporaries, James is not a pop musician in the traditional sense of the word.

Speaking in a tone of mingled peevishness and self-pity, he proceeds to recite Macbeth's lines as though he's whining at Fate for giving him such a hard time...
...next three essays reflect increasingly focused arguments concerning the validity of the placebo effect and its growing popularity in the realm of modern medicine. Among the topics pinpointed are the clinical bases of the placebo effect and the "nocebo phenomenon," in which the mere expectation of sickness may cause the angst-ridden patient to hurtle towards death. Even though the articles start to resemble entries in a medical journal, compelling statistics--such as the 12 percent increase in "normal" U.S. suicide patterns following Marilyn Monroe's suicide in 1962--snatch the reader's attention whenever the discussion of endogenous opioids...
