...available to most network shows), South Africa Now presents a lively look at a tumultuous region. Twelve full- and part-time staffers and a host of volunteers put together programs of spot news, background reports and cultural features. The result is a show that is spunky and creative, though uneven in quality. Interviews sometimes drag on, and occasionally the picture and sound quality are poor...
Warhol's power, uneven as it was, lay in an emotional narrative that contradicted its cold, fixed, iconic surface. He unskeined a story in which a horror of the world, verging sometimes on acute dread, mingled with an artificial calm and a desire for transcendence. Try as one may, one cannot imagine Gold Marilyn Monroe, 1962, being painted by anyone but a Roman Catholic homosexual; it is both completely camp in its pseudo-Byzantine extravagance and, in its identification of the star with the Madonna, yearningly devotional.

...despite the historical interest of knowing that culture hasn't always been appreciated in America in the same uneven way, the detailed discussion of America's egalitarian cultural past serves a more crafty purpose.

...that, and a painter of unassailable, though uneven, greatness! Courbet has become one of the titans of radical nostalgia.

But it is the first attempt by an American...
...solar and nuclear, neither of which generates any greenhouse gases at all. Solar power is especially attractive. It produces no waste, and it is inexhaustible. Not all solar power comes directly from the sun: both wind and hydroelectric power are solar, since wind is created by the sun's uneven warming of the atmosphere and since the water / that collects behind dams was originally rain, which in turn was water vapor evaporated by solar heating...
