...between illusion and reality, symbol and representation. Even though we know that the comic-book characters in his paintings are charicatures, the sentiments depicted by the disembodied panels are so overwhelming that we cannot help but participate in the drama. Even though we know that the painting of a sandwich and soda pop is schematic and does not even attempt traditional modelling and shading, our first reaction that it does represent the object is so powerful and so instantaneous that it almost actually becomes the subject...
...this fractured and isolationist image by blindly attempting to establish feeling contact with some of the warped souls he encounters in this "odyssey," as he calls it. It is not enough to see Kimberly Ann Regan's girl-friend cry and lament her own suffering over a pastromi sandwich during lunch-hour, then leave her for other witnesses.

One of the particles was distinctly different from the others. Its telltale track through a sandwich of three dozen sheets of plastic, nuclear emulsion and photographic film looked unfamiliar to cosmic-ray researchers. Last week, nearly two years after their equipment was brought back to earth, scientists from the universities of California and Houston finally offered an explanation. The unexpected particle, they said, was almost surely a magnetic monopole, the long...
There, on Dec. 20, 1973, two men wearing ski masks and carrying walkie-talkies surprised him in Rose's Sandwich Shop, a sleazy restaurant that had color stills from The Godfather on one wall. One man held a 12-gauge shotgun under Cain's chin and blew the head off the man whose quarry had once been Fidel Castro...
