...attitudes are one thing, results another. Generally, the constructions are the flimsiest area of Wiley's art. His watercolors and oils are a different matter. The White Rhino Injured, 1966, is a marvel of surrealist compression: the unfortunate pachyderm's skin is reduced to several turns of gray, wrinkled hosepipe surrounding a block of white meat from which pink blood flows; it is a funky but hauntingly succinct image of vulnerability. "I'm a maze of information about reflections mirrored in opposites," begins the caption to his punningly titled Wizdumb Bridge, 1969, and the declaration fits...

One expert described Kadish as "stronger and a better rusher than Mike McCoy," the former Notre Dame All-America now with the Green Bay Packers. Charging through the middle like a bull rhino, Kadish led the Irish defensemen this season with 97 tackles. "He's a kid," says an admiring scout, "who plays with pain." Jacobson in-flic's pain.

If the various townspeople who rationalize and stumble their way into the rhino herd are absurd, Ionesco says, so is Berenger, the one man who holds out. His defiant profession of faith in humanity is farcical rather than heroic, showing that individuality in an indifferent universe can be as futile as conformity. At one point, Berenger even longs for the hard green armor...

...keeping the old hunter away from his guns. During the first break in the official proceedings, President Tito of Yugoslavia rushed pell-mell into the wilderness to take a few crack shots at East African wildlife. At the end of his safari, Tito felled a three-ton male rhino, a 21-ton buffalo and a "huge" lion...
