...1960s and '70s, including Orpheus the Wearied Troubadour (1970). During this period, De Chirico reworked the haunting depictions of piazzas and faceless troubadours from the canvases of the 1910s and '20s that made him famous. There are also neo-Baroque portraits of De Chirico and his wife, Isabella, in regal 17th century attire, which display his masterly brushwork and ironic eye for melodrama. De Chirico's spirit is strongest in the top-floor painter's studio, which remains just as he left it at the time of his death. Dried-up paint tubes and brushes are strewn about...
...winding garden road, past Cambridge’s Common (and river-dwelling commoners), nestled amongst regal Cantabridgian Victorians, is a little slice of heaven called the Quadrangle. It is here where fortunate princes and princesses reside in the Castles Currier, Cabot, and Pforzheimer. Don’t believe me? We have towers to prove it; four in Currier alone, from which illustrious dukes occasionally launch water balloon crusades from the turrets onto rogue river-dwellers who venture into our lands...

The New York Times called him Broadway?s ?last leading man?; but that doesn?t touch his regal stage presence. He?s more like the one true king...
...lows. She wasn't one to spit out rapid-fire dialogue, a vocal reticence that would have limited her roles even in a color-blind Hollywood. Saucy comedy, of the sort Jean Harlow personified, was out, as was the scalding, wiseacre melodrama, Barbara Stanwyck-style. Wong could flash a regal hauteur and, when called for, that sensuality. She could have played grand-dame roles of the sort essayed by Garbo - she certainly could match the Swede for fascination, and self-fascination - but not, say, Marlene Dietrich, whose awareness of her power over men was always comic and ironic...
