...world's top female rock singer, commanding as much as $50,000 a night. Like her idol Bessie Smith, Janis had a singing style as earthy as a streetwalker. There were myriad subtle ways in which her voice could range from a deep throaty groan to a high tender croon. When she licked into a phrase like "Oh, I'd be so good to ya, babe, yeah!" (Turtle Blues), there was no mistaking the kind of ecstasy she had in mind...
...sense, her paintings are like the desert itself, where there is no apparent middle ground: everything is either far or near, held in a hallucinatory clarity. In O'Keeffe's tender, expanded details of Jimson weed, desert roses, shingles and pebbles, a generation used to psychedelics will recognize a part of its own experience-reality declaring its inexhaustible fullness.

lust what is legal tender in Britain? Answer: anything you can write a check on-even the backside of a cow. So last week, as a 60th anniversary jape in honor of all the years that Punch's leading humorist, A.P. Herbert, has spent with the magazine, two policemen led a cow into Barclays bank with a ?5 check written on its hide. Herbert endorsed bossie and collected his money. The drollery may have seemed a trifle fey, but there was a point to it. Herbert, a former M.P. and a crusader for liberalized divorce laws, is best known...
