...electric engines are switched on, the first impact is like being caught inside a vacuum cleaner. But noise is soon forgotten as S 250 noses along just above the floor of the bay, a flat, sandy-brown miniature moonscape unrolling beneath the 3-in.-thick, 16-in.-in-diameter window in the bow. Cynically one expects to find old shoes and bottles. But there is nothing except large-grained sand and mud, now and then a stick or stone, crisscrossed by all sorts of hermit and spider crabs that slink out of sight. Only the bigger green crabs show fight...
...past 30 years helped pay the rent by treating drug, drinking and other behavioral problem cases with hypnosis. But he admits to a life-long addiction of his own: gadgets. One historic day six years ago, he repaired to his garage with an armload of automobile power-window assemblies and second-hand refrigerator motors worth about $2,000 at the junkyard. Three years and a psychic, $750,000 later (his labor, which he figures at $20 an hour), Skora had remade the mountain of junk in his own image and likeness, more or less. And he looked upon...
...With us," Macke wrote in 1910, four years before he was killed in battle, "each risk is the desperate and chaotic experience of a man not in command of his tongue." The principal influence on Macke was French: the paintings of Delaunay, like A Window, 1912-13, which had been seen in Berlin in 1913.

...also has what is probably the film's most telling scene: one night he hoists a lad- der up the side of a sorority house and spies on the coeds through a window. In any other college movie, his efforts would not pay off, but here they do in spades. Belushi's wide eyes take in one gorgeous nude body after another as the girls engage in pillow fights and unmentionable other acts. Yet there is nothing sordid about his voyeurism; it seems almost pure. That is because the Lampoon people understand the darkest secret of an American...
...public posture also combined with personal fantasy, reverie and wit. The result has been a rather low-pressure art that refuses to strum on the heartstrings. For convenience, Szarkowski divides the images in this show into "mirrors"?pictures that mean to describe the photographer's own sensibility?and "windows"?realist photos of fact, including the facts of photography seen as a system. In short, the romantic vs. the realist: but it is not a very strict dichotomy, as Szarkowski himself stresses. The typical photo in this show, mirror or window, is cool, low in narrative content, linguistically sophisticated...
