Lakers trainer Gary Vitti reported Johnson's knee, injured Wednesday night in a game in Milwaukee, was sore and puffy upon the team's arrival in Boston yesterday...
...after image, making her one of the most pervasive "presences" in American art since Marilyn Monroe. Ada makes an early appearance in a black sweater, with the characteristic level stare, in 1957; by 1972, in Blue Umbrella No. 2, she is a creature of formidable glamour, radiating a Monica Vitti-esque wistfulness in the rain (the slightly blurred expression is given by the three highlighted dots on each pupil), her pink and red scarf an homage to Bronzino, a raindrop neatly mimicking a tear on her cheek.

Lecturing is the least of the cultural exchanges in which Petworth engages. Struggling with Slaka's implacable bureaucracy, he plays an unwitting role in its intrigues and treacheries, despite the best efforts of his fond, exasperated official guide.

But Antonioni saw no challenge in restaging the play. Instead, he would shoot the production on videotape, and then transfer it to film...
...Vitti and Branciaroli, two handsome and appealing actors, follow Antonioni's cue. There is little passion in their voices, even when the queen and Sebastian over come their initial distrust and become lovers to the death. No surprise here: Antonioni is the man who made aleatory music out of monotone in L'Avventura. But there is feeling aplenty conveyed through the vibrant orchestration of color. Each character is given his own "aura"-a kind of placenta of color that indicates his passion or humor. And every time the queen's mood changes, her surroundings change too, like...
