...emotional cipher (which isn't to say audiences would have wanted to see Jack Webb really air it out as an actor). In essence, TV's early characters were subjected to the same drama every week, as if they were stuck in a time warp. Would Darrin stop Larry Tate from finding out that Samantha is a witch? Would Lucy come up with a scheme to subvert Ricky's wishes? Would McGarrett get to say "Book him, Danno"--or maybe, just once, "Book him, Chin...
...Dead the story of Anthony Curtis (Larenz Tate) and his high school cronies Skip and Jose growing up in Bronx during the late A but likable group, they spend their high school years debating whether or not to obey the law. As one can imagine, running numbers for the local bookie is a lot more seductive than delivering milk. This first part of the film, utilizing wonderful color tones and an agreeable pace, is certainly the strongest. Here, the Hughes Brothers can allow their young actors to be themselves.

Today how good does he look? A large retrospective jointly organized by London's Tate Gallery, Paris' Musee d'Orsay and the National Gallery of Art in Washington (where it is on view through Aug. 20) offers the evidence.

One would prefer to think that Whistler the artist flies free of Whistler...
When it was at the Tate Gallery in London a few months ago, R.B. Kitaj's retrospective show received a drubbing from English critics such as few artists ever have to endure in a lifetime. Indeed, the reviews were so bilious that this critic found himself wondering whether an artist he had admired for years might not have had a doppelganger-another R.B. Kitaj, pretentiously eclectic, too big for his boots and not much good with the brush, who had somehow snuck his God-awful daubs into the Tate ahead of the real one. But no; the show...
...survey of song titles from her 1992 Blue Note album, Maroons, reflects the contemporary images that inform Allen's playing: "Mad Money," "Feed the Fire," "Brooklyn Bound `A'," and "Bed-Sty." The liner notes to that album include Greg Tate's poem "Maroon To Reign (terrain)," which echoes Allen's preoccupation with the troubled world of today's Black America...
