" The response, CBS claimed, was a refusal to provide tapes of new shows in time to meet contractual deadlines.

Raffael now likes statelier themes: an Egyptian bust, a gem-encrusted crown, raised to a magical, almost religious level by his extraordinarily vibrant brushwork and imaginative palette.
