...Vogler convincingly uphold the glory of the German officer class, rattling off performances unalloyed with conventional tin soldiery and Prussian steel. Playing a hero-collecting countess who adds Peppard and Kemp to her trophy shelf, Ursula Andress is considerably handicapped by high-cut period costumes, though she manages to slither out of them from time to time...
Laing abstracts the hot-rod esthetic in paintings on brass and aluminum that hinge and bend to slither up the walls or across the floor. They employ the customized car lingo in their textures: chrome and riots of rainbow "flake" (colored metal chips frozen in sprayed vinyl) finishes. They take the serpentine ripple of flames painted on the sides of racing cars, the flapping forms of the parachutes used to slow giant dragsters. Before Laing's one-man show in Manhattan opened last week at the Richard Feigen Gallery, they also were completely sold...
...Japan, where the tube is derisively known as Ichi Oku So Hakuchi (for 100 million idiots), TV time is now so highly prized that spots are usually limited to 15 seconds each or to "crawl along" slogans that slither along the bottom of the tube even as the program goes on.

You can get lost without much trouble in the still paths of Van Cortland Park, where the slither of garter snakes and scamper of rabbits will echo louder in your ears than the muted hissing and groaning of traffic in the distance. Or cross the bay to the dusky lanes and country gardens of Staten Island. Even occasional streets like those rows of brownstones in the sixties, between Park and Second, release you from the hustle...
