...Opera. Major contributions were surely made by the composer and by director Trevor Nunn, and the storytelling is also enhanced by Maria Bjornson's dreamlike designs. They shift fluidly from a naturalistic mansion courtyard to a mountain range at sunset conveyed by just a jagged line of reddish purple across a backdrop of black. The performers all act as ably as they sing, notably Michael Ball as the doomed boyish hero who ages into embittered manhood, Ann Crumb as the woman with whom everyone falls in love but who loves herself more than any of them, Kathleen Rowe McAllen...
...responses to other and older paintings. Las Mayas, 1958, is a very loose translation of a Goya, turned upside down. Winter Hunt, 1958, in which a fox with pricked ears and pointed muzzle makes a now-you-see-me-now-you-don't appearance among swipes of black and reddish-brown on the bare canvas ground, seems to reflect Winslow Homer's The Fox Hunt. Among the later paintings are versions of a Titian portrait, of a Flight into Egypt by Jacopo Bassano, and of a Manet still life: For E.M., 1981, in which the colors and placing of fish...
...like Five Dreamings, 1984, by Michael Nelson Jakamarra and his wife Marjorie Napaljarri, may fill the space with an "all-overness" as complete as any painting by Jackson Pollock.

Still lodged deep in his left thigh was a plastic bullet, Israel's latest ammunition against the ten-month-old intifadeh (uprising) by Palestinians in the occupied territories. Abdulatif pulled aside the bandage to reveal a reddish silver dollar-size hole in his flesh. Explained a nurse: "There is no difference between plastic and real bullets. They both enter the body and destroy...
...with cow horns sticking out of them. Pirmin, from a minor resort town near Saas-Fee (which is a minor resort near Zermatt), is the sort of nice young man your mother wants your sister to meet. He does not look as if he eats nails. He has curly, reddish-blond hair, an elf's pointy nose and a shy, boyish grin, behind which is real shyness, behind which...
