...rich visual concepts that the music offers manifest themselves in the little scenes which appear between songs. They range from a conversation at a newsstand (which reappears on the set during "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man") to a scene where Prince, resplendent in his peach-colored glasses, sits in a chair and reminisces; the rock video "U Got The Look" plays in his head...
...should be confused by The Manchurian Candidate today. Axelrod's urbane cynicism plays like aces Wilde. Frankenheimer's aptly flashy technique is now a part of Hollywood's visual vocabulary. The performances are daring and assured, especially Lansbury's holy terror of Momism and Harvey's snide, pathetic pawn, brainwashed by both KGB AND CIA. And the movie's theory of endemic political corruption, which read as seditious in 1962, now feels like the sweet breath of reason. Few movies attempt to anatomize a whole sick society, to dissect the mortal betrayals of country, friend, lover and family; fewer films...

She is only one of more than 100 Harvard students who volunteer in the Cambridge Public Schools...
...proposals, the Visual Artists Rights Bill, would also provide a 7% resale royalty on some art works fetching $1,000 or more. In this age of the $53.9 million Van Gogh, that would allow artists whose works increase in value -- always just a fraction of the profession -- to get a piece of the collector's profits. Critics counter that a similar provision in California's law has merely driven the sale of art off the books or out of state...
