...SEEMS that each new season hails a new style in art, as if the art connoisseurs had finally timed their pacesetting with the fashion designers in Paris. Art lurches from one peak of success to another (Pop, Happenings, Environmentalists, Conceptualists, Structuralists) so that you get seasick keeping up. Once, it took a century for an art to outdo itself, to reach that state of exaggeration from which a new style might explode. Now, you trade in art vocabularies like the diet faddist adjusting eating habits. It's enough to make anybody jumpy with anxiety. And anxiety is no good breeder...
Miles portrays Lady Caroline like a seasick naiad. She is married to that steadfast politician William Lamb (Jon Finch), who is later to become Lord Melbourne, no thanks to her. Caroline conducts a mad love affair with Lord Byron (Richard Chamberlain), submitting eagerly to such ignominious charades as playing Nubian slave to his surly prince.

Aboard a riverboat, they become aware of the flaws in the fable. Rich folk stride upon the top deck; down below are the new arrivals. Below them are Negro...
Added Lumps. Cunard ordered the changes to increase both passenger revenues and on-board spending, particularly by Americans. Nonetheless, the facelift, which was devised by a Florida kitchen-supply firm, has made Britain's designing establishment a bit seasick. Dennis Lennon, who was chiefly responsible for the original interior design of the ship, quit after two weeks on the new project. "It was a national ship," he explained. "It wasn't something to play around with and turn into a honky-tonk." James Gardner, the principal exterior designer of the original, said of the altered superstructure: "We tried...
