...model? No one knows his name. Rubens presumably painted him for fun, for love of that gallant bronze head that seems to bear the fingerprints of God upon its temples. It is a speaking head, al though silent. And optimistic, too, against all odds. From that shadowed throat and those strong liana jaws, it speaks of life to men with a torn hope - to paraphrase a poem by Senegal's Léopold Sédar Senghor...
...befits a former editor of Punch. Fiat Nox (let there be night) he sees as the first commandment of the modern world. The result of seeking heaven on earth is hell. "Four freedoms lead to forty times more servitudes," cries Muggeridee, and Savonarola in top form and full throat from the pulpit of the Duomo cried no louder. We are gabardine swine losing life and liberty in the pursuit of happiness. The real modern religion is "utopianism," and by that ism, Muggeridge means the universal creed of the modern world.

Though he conceived, wrote, directed and stars in Marry Me, Marry Me, Berri knows better than to make his film a one-man show.

The washes should be allowed on the market, the panel said, only if they are advertised as "pleasantly flavored solutions...
Sprayed-On Trousers. Jones' manager, Gordon Mills, has a one-word explanation for the fuss: "Sex." That is accurate enough-and the effect is carefully calculated. When Jones growls through a song in a black, bluesy style, the emotion seems to come more from the throat than the heart. The throat itself is a bit suspect: his keening, virile baritone has an alarming tendency to wobble. What seems to matter to female spectators is the way he writhes to a funky beat, tears off his tie, slashes the air rhythmically with both arms and strains his pelvis and thigh...
