...critic is by definition narcissistic," says Robert Hughes, author of this week's story celebrating the career of Pablo Picasso. "His job is to argue his likes and dislikes in public, then hope that someone takes it all seriously." Hughes has not let such seemly modesty stint his output on three continents. An Australian, he began writing art criticism for a Sydney fortnightly 13 years ago; he was 20 at the time. Four years later, he wrote The Art of Australia. By the time he started contributing to our Art section last year, Hughes had published a second book...

...deeper problem lies with Max himself, who was too much the fastidious dandy, too much the meticulous stylist, to serve as a vehicle for the broad, boisterous traffic of the stage. He considered his twelve-year stint as drama critic for London's Saturday Review a penance in the form of intellectual slumming. He viewed the theater's vulgarity with distaste, and the occasional passion of high drama with skepticism.

Historians even claim 3,000,000 were saved. My position would be different were I not considered the political successor of Hitler...

...serious results. But when he ran away from school at age 16, his father sent him down to London in 1920 to be psychoanalyzed. The six-month period of analysis, Greene revealingly admits, was the most peacefully pleasant time of his life, along with a brief, comfortable, post-Oxford stint as a subeditor of the London Times. (When he left the Times in 1929 to try a full-time career in fiction, the editors were deeply distressed, not only because of Greene's quality, but because he was the only subeditor within memory who had ever left the paper...

...dressed funny." Lonely, he spent most of his time in trouble at school, hanging out at the roller rink and getting into fistfights. At 18, Oates joined the Marines, because "I figured if I didn't, I'd end up in jail." After a two-year stint as an airplane mechanic, he landed at the University of Louisville. He drifted in and out of courses in business administration, anthropology and English. Introduced to drama when he read Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra, Oates tried a student theater group. "After that, I didn...
