...round or two in the behind-the-scenes struggle to succeed the 75-year-old Brezhnev. At the same time, there were other indications last week in the byzantine political world of Moscow suggesting that Chernenko, and perhaps even his boss Brezhnev, were the targets of veiled challenges from restless colleagues...
...bizarre ending for this eldest son of an Albanian immigrant who had become a Chicago restaurateur. (Another son, Jim, followed his brother into revue and TV comedy.) Always restless and volatile, John sped through a typical Midwestern youth: football, rock-band drummer high school high jinks, a brief spell at the University of Michigan.

...mass-media imagery of Italy was intent on doing; his struggle was "to purge representation of its manipulative potential so that painting . . . might be carried on without cynicism or apology." Modestly, insistently, Morandi's images try to slow the eye, asking it to give up its inattention, its restless scanning, and to give full weight to something small...
