...personality," the lady once said, "and I'll show you a woman who isn't a star." Now, at 58, Katharine Hepburn is still very much a star, but she has wearied of Hollywood's personality fetish; she grants few interviews, is rarely seen outside her private circle of friends, has even hired an agency to keep her out of the public eye. There was nothing she could do, though, about the exhibit opening last week at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art, which paid her the honor of exhibiting 65 photos of Hepburn in many...
...Seen thus, his work is a catalogue of insights. "Art," he posited, "is the best education to refine the emotions."

Steadfastly carrying a belief in the heroic pattern of life "like a shiny coin in his pocket," he represents a Hemingway-esque hero as seen through a Fitzgerald lens. His relationship with Ben is something far more complex than a simple boy-meets-boy story. As Pierce's wife observes to Ben just before the denouement: "What a curious pair you are, you two. I used to think the relationships between women were complicated, but they're nothing to what goes on between...
