...zoos in Italy, but Antwerp, where Rubens lived, boasted one, and there he was able to sketch lions in their coiled-spring power. And it is within the painting's faithfulness to nature that the miracle becomes more believable. Remains of their former meals lie scattered in the foreground. Amidst their curling manes and rippling bodies, Daniel is impaled by a shaft of light that slashes into the den. The sheer force of the composition points directly at the baroque style then in its flowering...
...quite manage to see the elephant whole. The book is a brilliant essay on the traditions and temperament of Asian man, but Dr. Herbert has almost nothing to say about what has happened to those traditions and that temperament in the last 20 years. However, the reader who has foreground but lacks background will be grateful for this vigorous and informative encapsulation of a continent...
...background, Warhol's movie, Beauty Number II, unreeled against a wall displaying Edie in brief undies lounging on a bed and chatting (soundlessly) with a male companion in shorts. In the foreground, Edie and her companions frugged, jerked and twisted beneath hot studio lights.

Meo bungles his way into the Vatican vocal conservatory that separates the boys from the men, bribes the surgeon not to operate on him, but somehow manages to retain a passable falsetto. Later favored by the nobility, the false capon cuckolds his patrons. He reveals his secret to one elegant lady (Anouk Aimée) while he helps her undress. Another (Barbara Steele) learns the truth...
