Thus all the aspects of the U.S. economic malaise interact in circular fashion to intensify one another. Rapid...
Olitski's "break-through" -- the sudden leap from mediocre early work so characteristic of modern painting -- occurs in 1964 with paintings like Deep Drag. Here Olitski turns to a rectilinear ordering of the forms: the circles are still there, but they have been driven to the edges where they interact with long, brushed forms to shape out a composition clearly accepting the limits of the frame. (Eventually those circles will be reduced to thumbprints on the smooth field, and finally can be observed as mere drops.) Olitski's characteristic banishment of all drawing to the edges of the canvas appears...

So with the dance, intellect came back into music, and with it the sometimes painful irony that contemporary history entailed...
APPETITES are large and effortlessly satisfied here; personalities are protected from tension and splintering. It's as easy as "Let's live together." For that reason the personalities in Cesar and Rosalie interact no more profoundly than billiard balls. The dramatic moments simply lack credibility.

Since such incidents neither shift the equilibrium of forces nor portend...
Once an antibody has locked onto an invading cell, it can interact with a series of blood proteins called "complement," which aids in destroying the invader and makes it even more attractive to scavenger cells. By one or a combination of these actions, the intruder is broken down into chemical components that are recycled by the body or excreted as waste...
