...comfortable with group scenes and visual humor. No one in Cousin, Cousine is witty--Tacchella wouldn't allow a character that freedom. He prefers to draw back and let us laugh at people and situations--a man with his pants down at a formal dinner, a woman about to slit her wrists who stops to fix her makeup instead, or a drunk at a wedding who obliges propriety by carefully filling his wine glass and then takes a swig out of the bottle anyway. As funny as Tacchella makes some of these scenes, we wind up yearning for some...
...green camouflage probe cautiously through the brush, automatic weapons at the ready. To protect themselves, white farmers have installed pushbutton alarm systems that alert police posts in case of attack. Fierce Rhodesian ridgeback dogs roam the grounds, and thick steel mesh covers many windows. Some have even dug sandbagged slit trenches in their yards to provide quick cover.

"My wife would slit her throat if we had to move back to Houston," says Gene Bishoff, manager of the 700,000-sq.-ft. Western Auto Supply distribution center. At first she did not want to leave Houston, where they had lived for 25 years, but now, says Bishoff, "we feel like...
...longest, costliest, most bitterly fought lawsuits in art history came to an end last week. It had been almost six years since Mark Rothko, whose large canvases filled with luminous rectangles of color had established him as a leader of American abstract expressionism, slit his wrists in his Manhattan studio, leaving his estate to a charitable trust for needy older artists. Under New York State law, Rothko's two children (Kate, now 24, and Christopher, 12) claimed 50% of it. Since 1970, the children and their lawyers alleged, there had been a conspiracy between Rothko's executors-Accountant...
