JUSTINE, by Lawrence Durreli. Not to the taste of every literary palate but a special delight for those who can savor the sensuous, the sensual and the unsavory all at once. The heroine is a sex-surfeited Jewess in Alexandria who does not understand herself, in or out of bed. The reward for the reader is an unforgettable impression of both the oddly exciting and sordid sides of a Near Eastern city...

Despite an occasionally listless script ("Oh dear, I can't stand the sight of blood"). Success got its savor from fine performances by Dependable Actress Eileen Heckart and TV's perennial Big-Business Boss Everett Sloane, stood in a class apart from the summer insipidity by managing to meet some of TV's toughest demands: a neatly organized plot, pitiless closeups and split-second scene switching from...

No nation will outshine Greece in tourist-luring music, dance, drama...

Endowed with extraordinary ability as a painter, he first patterned his style on the impressionist manner of Mi, later emulated the landscapes of loth century Painter Tung Yuan, finally retired to savor the intellectual climate of Hangchow. His Mist in Wooded Mountains shows that he could combine these earlier influences into a work that became uniquely his own. The drama is in the landscape itself, in the mountains and solid trees seen emerging through the fog. But 500 years later...
