...severe? It is concentrated largely among women and teenagers, who are not primary breadwinners, and only 5.4% of the heads of households are jobless. Are the factories really so underused? There is some concern about the re-emergence of production bottlenecks in several industries, notably paper, petrochemicals and steel. Is demand really so low? It certainly has contributed to price rises...
...always hand-painted rather than sprayed), that gives such life to his stabiles-Calderese for static sculptures. They are by turns as graceful as plants, as energetic in profile as a jumping tarpon: Calder's sense of edge is unfailing. Partly because they are assembled from sheet steel and do not dislodge great lumps of space, they also have a light, affable air to them.

(Blowing a man's kidneys out while he's having intercourse, flinging a steel rabbit trap through a man's eyeball--you know, "the breaks.") This grotesque circus of gore soon winds down into incoherency, and buffs who expected more from this line-up begin to realize the full meaning of "the breaks." Or, as Dr. Johnson might put it, "A humorous or ugly...
