...blooms of pastel and general air of tentative anxiety, pay homage to the blue period. But they stare from the paper with the look of rough creatures trapped in an alien element, refugees from Goya and Velásquez as well as from the 20th century. This ability to suggest cultural continuity in the midst of a general malaise may be the final rea son why Kitaj's art haunts a corner of one's mind that no other living painter has contrived to occupy. -Robert Hughes
...researchers suggest an obvious answer: poor sexual communication between men and women rests on the assumption, shared by both sexes, that men are natural leaders and experts in sex and therefore must be doing the right thing.

"If the lights in your house blow out every time you turn on your toaster, you know something is wrong. You call the electrician." Questioned about the engineer's statements, Harold Denton...
...strongest ploy but at least in the early going, he had difficulty using it. When told on a Toronto hot-line radio show that the voters were more worried about inflation and unemployment, the Prime Minister unguardedly blurted out that he found it "almost treasonable" for anyone to suggest that national unity was not an important issue...
