...Karl Blossfeldt, in which a seedcase can rear up like a Gothic tower, suggesting all manner of analogies to architecture. But Winters' paintings evoke this quintessentially Romantic idea of the very small as metaphor of the very large without being very explicit about it. The paint surface is too rough for that: heavily worked over, it is long on touch but short on info. At the same time, its muddy strength has little of the impetuous fervor of recent neoexpressionist painting. It is crusty and rather stolid. So what is going...
Though there is no chance that Congress will enact the President's budget intact, his proposals offer a rough guide to who might be hurt by the spending reductions everyone agrees are inevitable. Even if Congress reaches some alternative, or if Gramm-Rudman-Hollings comes into play, the programs targeted by the President are bound to be affected. With so much cutting to be done, and more than half of the budget (Social Security, other entitlements and interest on the national debt) legally or politically off limits, almost every discretionary spending program will be at risk. Among the areas...

That leaves a more realistic picture through which we can examine ourselves, though a more reflective mirror isn't always what we want to look at and can be less entertaining...
...Steppenwolf collective, capturing a 1985 Tony Award as the nation's best regional theater. While much of the rest of the American theater seems overrefined, elite and abstract, the Chicago troupes have built an enthusiastic mainstream audience for what many of the artists characterize as "rock-'n'-roll theater," rough-edged, noisy, pulsating with energy, appealing less to the mind than to the heart and groin...
...Chomsky (Holocaust), who took over at the outset of seven months of filming in the Soviet Union. Problems cropped up almost immediately. First the production's entire supply of wigs was lost for 3 1/2 weeks. The crew found Soviet accommodations to be spartan, transportation unreliable and toilet paper rough. "I had a miserable time," says Omar Sharif, who plays one of Peter's advisers. Bored with meals of beet-root salads, chicken and potatoes, Sharif took a trip to Paris and brought back cans of tuna, which he ate at night alone in his room...
