...abysmal--particularly in his first few scenes with the prosecutors. At times Ciello's self-acknowledged betrayal of his friends seems to be wearing him down to a single, raw and exposed nerve. Yet other times, Williams' posturing makes Ciello look ludicrous, like some hyperthyroid hampster racing his exercise wheel to no apparent result. A brilliant performance in the role of Danny might have clarified some of the mysteries about his motivations; a disastrous portrayal would make the film unwatchable. Williams strolls that spacious middle ground between epiphany and catastrophe...
...gentle tweak of a steel wheel not much bigger than a silver dollar points Cavalier's snout in a fresh direction with the ease of a Cadillac swinging into a country-club driveway. Wooden helms are fast becoming museum pieces, like so many vestiges of wind-sailing days. Crews no longer wash then-clothes in deck buckets, they toss them in washers and dryers.

His decision to display such objects as an oval wheel and a fur-lined teacup irked the museum's trustees, and one show devoted entirely to an elaborate shoeshine stand crafted by little-known Primitive Artist Joe Milone nearly got him fired. But he also presented landmark shows on surrealism, Dada, Bauhaus architecture, machine design and artists from Edward...
...rings. Formed out of rocky, icy fragments ranging in size from dust particles to boulders as big as apartment buildings, they totaled more than 1,000 in all. Astonishingly, some rings were twisted into what looked like braids of hair. Others contained patterns that resembled spokes of a wheel. Some even whirled around Saturn in eccentric paths like grooves of a record that had slipped its spindle...
