...Ferguson, a promoter at Hollywood's Cafe Bleu, says that on some nights as many as 100 twentysomethings--sporting shiny sharkskin suits, pointy Beatles boots and tattoos--line up their bikes in the club lot. But Vespa fanatics include businessmen, middle-aged women and just regular guys. Hairstylist Robert Winslow, 29, moved from a roomy loft in New York City's tony TriBeCa to a dingier but more spacious Brooklyn apartment without a kitchen, strictly to accommodate his vintage bikes. "I'm obsessive," he says. "My place is pretty much a garage." In May, Mike Frankovich, 25, a student...
Marie Wyman's 87th birthday celebration at the Lobster Trap & Steakhouse in Winslow, Maine, ended with a bang. As she backed out of a handicapped-parking spot, police say, Wyman lost control of her Buick and plowed right through the restaurant's crowded dining room. Tables and chairs scattered as terrified diners scrambled for cover. Twenty-seven people were injured, and police say it was a miracle that no one was killed in the July 25 crash. Tragically, that wasn't so in Los Angeles nine months ago, when Byron Cox, 96, a driver with dementia, ran over Brandi Mitock...
...wrong. Modernism was an immigrant, and the anxiety that haunted American artists for most of the 50 years the show covers was that of provincialism. In some respects the moderns were less original than the great American figures of the 19th century: John James Audubon, Frederick Church, Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer.

"We all steal," said Arshile Gorky to Ilya...
...only 51, Sargent decided to give up doing "paughtraits," as he disparagingly called them--except for those commissions he couldn't refuse, like a 1917 portrait of John D. Rockefeller. Sargent wanted to travel more and do landscapes, especially in watercolor--and next only to Winslow Homer, he was the finest American watercolorist of his time...
...Lowell and SarahPayne Stuart's stories of growing up run parallelin that both writers hold the vacuous andhypocritical snobbery of the family in totalcontempt but constantly seek the validation of thefamily in all they do. Thus even though RobertLowell would come to publish book after bookflagrantly railing against the Winslows and theLowells, he would as a child constantly seek theaccolades of his grandfather Arthur Winslow. Yearslater, Stuart in desperation decides to fall backon her sense of family honor so ritualisticallyingrained and return to her family's homestead inConcord, to a house near Walden Pond. Here sheexpects her children to learn...
