...that relationship has been largely reversed or obscured. Even so, a number of contemporary artists still take an intimate view of the land. Paul Resika discovers "the light of sentiment" in the long summer twilight of Cape Cod. Jane Wilson is fascinated by the "weight of the sky" in Iowa. Other painters look ever more closely around them. Alan Gussow discerns a universe in Atlantic tidal pools; in a bunch of wild flowers, Ann Poor sees Maine's rocky land, autumn, perfection...
Britain labored under a Dickensian midwinter gloom last week. Off went the garish neons of Piccadilly Circus. After twilight, Big Ben could be heard but not seen. Buckingham Palace was lit by candles and hand torches. Millions of Londoners went to and from work beneath dimmed streetlights. Thirty crews of firemen helped rescue people who were trapped in stalled elevators. Dramatizing the nation's power shortage, one BBC newscaster had to read his bulletin by candlelight. A general synod of the Church of England also was conducted-perhaps fittingly-by candlelight, but that was not what the prelates...
...railroad worker, hated poets and would burn his son's notebooks. Fearing his father's wrath, he first used the pen name Pablo Neruda when he was 15, taking the surname from the Czechoslovak writer Jan Neruda (1834-91).

It evokes an instinctive materialism based more on the senses than the intellect, and the flesh becomes identified with...
DEPENDING on how one looked at them, the happenings in and around Manhattan's Mark Hellinger Theater last week would have confuted the claims of Jesus, or confirmed the dark suspicions of Oswald Spengler, who liked to think that the twilight of Western civilization will be marked not by true religion, but by an upsurge of fervid religiosity. Jesus Christ Superstar, the rock opera that is rocking Broadway's new season, is show biz with a twist: Director Tom O'Horgan, who was influenced by Olsen & Johnson, has made it into a sort of Heavenzapoppin...
That is more than can be said for Hopper. Ignoring the plot, the director presents a gallery of his favorite art works: Waterfall with a Distant View of Dennis; Effect of Dennis Through Peruvian Haze; Ruins of Dennis by Twilight; and his favorite: Dennis as the Universal Infant. This portrait can be seen throughout The Last Movie, even when other actors come on-notably Stella Garcia as Hopper's Peruvian mistress and Rod Cameron as Rod Cameron. Hopper never appears sober or coherent. This may account for the film's Godardian device-from time to time the legend...
