...connoisseur, the hostel is a sad comedown from Europe's gilded past, when internationally celebrated bordellos lined their ballrooms with erotic murals and antique chairs, offered their patrons bare-breasted dancing partners as a starter. But wherever they have sprung up, the hostels have done a land-office business. The Düssel-dorf establishment alone handles nearly 8,000 customers a day-at $3.75 apiece -and in Stuttgart, the monthly take...
PRIMITIVE ARTISTS OF YUGOSLAVIA by Oto Bihalji-Merin. 200 pages. McGraw-Hill. $16.95. The impact of these native artists, most of them peasants, is almost unbearably and perhaps unwittingly sad. The skies glower. A hired man slumps by his ax, in utter fatigue or despair. In a village cafe, the dancers do not smile. An old woman nods by candlelight, her face pale as death. A gypsy wedding scene seethes with movement, but the movement is angry, and the arm of the old man in the foreground seems to be raised in menace, his mouth seems to bellow wrath. Although...
Troubled & Sad. Crisp reminders of everyday reality shocked and estranged his 16th century public; he even got fired midway through work on frescoes for the duomo in Cremona.

The high Renaissance was poised before...
...case of Tony Conigliaro is a sad example of how the indifference of the Red Sox can affect a good ballplayer. Conigliaro was a rookie last season, and local spots writers weren't being hyperbolic when they compared him to Ted Williams. Despite missing a number of games because of injuries, he hit .290 and belted 25 home runs. He always seemed to give that little bit of extra effort. This season he has become a sloppy ballplayer; every time he goes to the plate he tries to hit a home run, and as a consequence his average has tumbled...
