...Being a beginner, it was natural that I should lean toward something I knew," she says. That means sensuality and films. So she asked 15 couturiers to create dresses capturing the personality of 20 film makers. Some of the results are nothing short of smashing, witness Emanuel Ungaro's idea of Andy Warhol: a floor-length cape punctured by hundreds of holes with plastic spheres swinging in the openings. Or from Lanvin, the dramatic Pier Paolo Pasolini creation: a black sweater that takes a breast-baring plunge to the waist, with bold-patterned Zouave pants. For the sensual part...
...subtle feeling for the nuances of small-town life, and scenes such as a going-away party for a Viet Nam-bound soldier are filled with a sense of quiet poetry that might have pleased Sherwood Anderson. In the cast are Tisa Farrow, Mia's preternaturally sensual younger sister, and (as Homer) a robust young actor named Don Scardino, who is the most genial and talented young leading man to appear since Beau Bridges...
...repressive prejudices of Johnson's time. However, that is precisely what Sackler has done. Most of Johnson's personality has been removed from the playwright's Jack Jefferson, making him more defenseless and unblemished than Johnson's staunchest supporters ever claimed. Sackler's character has none of Johnson's sensual excesses (and only one all-suffering white wife, drearily enacted by Jane Alexander).

...music figures prominently. Chopin seems to be one of the few composers whose works can satisfactorily make up an entire piano program. Naturally I am aware of the criticism of some of the criticism of some of the cognoscenti who find Chopin not stimulating enough intellectually, too sweetly sensual for their tastes, too obvious in his emotionalism. Chopin is not obvious at all; he is filled with subtleties-more for the ear than for the mind. Besides, there is the dark as well as the amiable side to his sensuality-that quality which Schumann described as 'guns behind flowers...
...failed to mention one "reentry problem": the fate of those who are obliged to associate with the newly "aware" T groupies. Ah, the compulsive openness they are so determined to inflict upon us, the venting of untapped spleens and the breathless revelations of profound new sensual experiences, experiences most of us old normal deadheads have known for years. Seems like the "T-group" encounter amounts to little more than an adult rekindling of the pubescent awakening accompanied by an unrestrained display of their current hang-ups. Ho-hum. I hope the next encounter-group alumnus I meet will have already...
