...interest is the burning immediacy of the images: Newton skidding down a hill against a primordial New Mexico landscape; crossing the blasted wastes of a distant planet; Newton, finally without earthly disguise, standing as he really is before a terrified Mary-Lou or removing contact lenses from his yellow, glowing eyes. Roeg's skills always threaten to outbalance whatever he sets them to, and that has happened here. The movie, in all ways, is not good enough...
...crowd of over 11,000 tee-shirted lacrosse aficionados and an ABC Wide World of Sport's team (the announcers in ugly yellow blazers) were waiting just before 2 p.m. Saturday to answer the question of why anyone with their wits about them would be in Providence, R.I. over a sunny spring weekend. The answer came from the two teams, though at first it looked like Bud Beardmore's Terrapins were going to take the plaques and trophies back to the Chesapeake for a second straight year. By halftime, it was 7-2 Maryland and Cornell had to have wished...
...dhaman is a yellow-tinted snake, ranging from 4 ft. to 10 ft. in length, that once had the run of the Indian countryside.

And of course, so far it hasn't been. Actually, I have no idea whether or not it's going to be any good. I can't really see how they're going...
...show illustrates how immaterial the distinction the West draws between art and craft was in traditional Japanese culture: a kosode, or small-sleeved robe - like the 17th century garment in two colors of figured satin, the jagged yellow sheet sweeping diagonally upward across its black ground - is as satisfying a work of art as any scroll or painted screen. Some kimono are filmy and almost blank, with patterns and emblems grouped in small areas. Others, like the takarazukushi, or "myriad treasures" robes, swarming with thousands of embroidered good-luck symbols, look thick enough to stand up on their...
