Front teeth newly recapped and visible behind a more or less constant smile, Frank Sinatra, 51, returned to the sidewalks of New York as . . . as a cop, for goodness' sake. All just pretend, of course, as affable Frank lazed around the 19th Precinct station house in pursuit of the title role of a movie called The Detective. Sinatra also made his first appearance as chairman of the American Italian Anti-Defamation League, which seeks to remove the stigma of gangsterism from the land that produced Dante, Michelangelo, Columbus, Mussolini and Capone.

...Crucifixion never took place at all. Thus does the Devil bless mankind by giving it a comfortable lie by which to live. The Master can forget his obsession and remains in peace with his beautiful mistress Margarita (who has given up a promising career as a witch for his sake). But Bulgakov makes clear his own belief: Pilate's guilt, an expedient cowardice that allows power to destroy good men, still lies on Russia...

If they do, Beban should be just the sort of player they are looking...
What makes Tony Smith's work tower above that of his fellow minimalists is the fact that in many respects he is unlike them. He does not value simplicity for its own sake-nor is he a simple man. "I see my pieces," he says, "as aggressors in hostile territory. I think of them as seeds or germs that could spread growth-or disease." Into their creation has gone not only years of architectural experience-which shows in their angular construction and their house-size dimensions-but also years of frustration, of chasing chimeras, tragedy, illness and black despair...
