Operaphiles may agree on little else, but on one subject they are unanimous: Charles Garnier's Paris Opera, conceived in a burst of Second Empire glory and opened in a blaze of Third Republic splendor, is the world's most opulent opera house. The Paris Opera (Vendome; 187 pages; $75), with text by Martine Kahane, curator of the Opera's library-museum, and musicologist Thierry Beauvert, succinctly recounts the history of the fabled hall, but the real tour d'horizon is provided by Jacques Moatti's photographs, which take the reader from the subterranean lake beneath the mammoth building, where...
This information presents certain problems. First of all, would ten times more men really expect their wives to cook as to make love? Well, a group of 100 men is small enough that it may be subject to sampling errors. A larger group would certainly have said "make love" more frequently and would likely have included such answers as "replace Mom," "iron my shirts" and "have large litters...

Eighteen months ago, Brand returned to his first love, writing, and has since applied his curiosity to such subjects as Asian-American students, the environment and the hospice movement. In preparation for this week's stories, Brand so immersed himself in the subject that he even had his own cholesterol count checked. He was relieved to find it was 170, well within the low-risk range. But that should...
...least remarkable quality of Diebenkorn's graphic work is the formal constancy that runs below its variations of subject and diction. You detect its exterior sign in a steadiness of mood. There are not many emotional ups and downs in Diebenkorn's work, although he certainly does not feign his calm. He finds the world too enjoyable to be detached from it. Life in Southern California (and a durably happy marriage, now in its 46th year) has had the same kind of stabilizing effect on Diebenkorn that the Cote d'Azur did on his great mentor, the subject...
