With his three-foot-high caricature half done, Scarfe moved to Manhattan's Algonquin Hotel where he applied the finishing touches, dressing the completed figure in a shirt and sports jacket lent by Galbraith. As he carried it into a crowded elevator on his way downstairs to a taxi, a little old lady tapped him on the shoulder and asked: "Is that John Galbraith?" "I was delighted," says Scarfe. "It was the first time anyone had seen...
...large, lumbering man whose amiable gracelessness extends both to his music and his conducting, Khachaturian, 64, is not exactly soured on the success of the Sabre Dance. "But it's like one button on my shirt," he says, "and I have many buttons." Curiously, the buttons do tend to resemble one another in all but size. The 48-minute Symphony, inspired by wartime patriotism, swoops from brassy fanfare to keening funeral march with a sure theatrical sense that never quite obscures its melodic poverty; the Concerto-Rhapsody covers much the same ground in about half the time...
Blood seeped through the student's shirt as he lay writhing on a suburban street in Evanston, Ill..

Because of a similar shortage of spare parts, appliances and machines are constantly breaking down. Anything that does run fetches a capitalist's ransom. A nine-year-old G.E. refrigerator that "still cools" brought $2,000 in Havana recently; a rusted...
...obviously means his portraits to be as challenging to others as the act of painting them is for him. His own self-portrait is a mixture of honesty and defiance. "If a person stands in front of you," he points out, "with his hands in his pockets and his shirt open, someone can stick a knife in his stomach." Thanks to Leslie's technical mas tery, the painting captures both his sullen antagonism toward the world and, at the same time, makes him look as innocent and as vulnerable as any of Pearlstein's coldly viewed nudes...
