...seizure of power during the ten world-shaking days of October 1917 was "as easy as lifting a feather." Lenin and his ideas did not arouse the masses to overthrow an exploiting regime, as his early scenario had called for. Instead, he simply but effectively thrust himself into the vacuum of power that had been created by the disintegration of the Russian state and society. In the name of building socialism, he overthrew the "bourgeois" liberties that Russia had barely begun to enjoy, convinced that he knew what was best for the people.

That climate determines how well the ministry party pulls together on crucial issues. Crossman's focus would distort...
...Vacuum Molds. Among the best is Joe Pirone, 33, of San Francisco, who mounts up to seven negative and positive transparencies one behind the other in a box, then lights them from behind to create eerie deep spaces. Vancouver's 25-year-old Michael DeCourcy prints high-contrast images of waves, pebbles and flying birds on the sides of cardboard boxes, then has them stacked up by workmen in whatever arrangement they choose. Vacuum molding enables Californians Robert Brown and James Pennuto to transform aerial photographs of rugged terrain into three-dimensional centour maps. The simplest work...
