...young artist named Marco Ricci killed a gondolier who had slighted his paintings. Had it not been for this murder, argue some Italian historians, 18th century Venetian landscape painting might never have thrived as it did. To keep Ricci from the law, his Uncle Sebastiano packed the young hothead off to Dalmatia, where the wild landscape inflamed his imagination. After the heat was off in Venice, which took four years, he returned, and his painting began to give new life to the coloristic Venetian tradition that had seemed over with the death of Tintoretto a century before...
...about each other, and the very least they have to do (even if one completely discards the question of continuity with Richard II and Part Two) is to develop themselves on the stage to justify the descriptions. This Philip Kerr's Hotspur accomplishes splendidly.

Argwings-Kodhek, a lawyer since disbarred...
...delicate and complex situation with more insight than Reporter Gibney, a LIFE staff writer. With authority, humor, and political sophistication, Gibney describes how paradox has become a law of life in a country where a dedicated Communist (Premier Gomulka) collaborates with a dedicated Catholic (Cardinal Wyszynski) to check both hothead Marxists and anti-Marxists. The result, reports Gibney, can sometimes be as bewildering as that wondrous two-headed animal of Hugh Lofting's Dr. Dolittle stories, the "Push-me Pull...
