Surprisingly, or so it seems at first glance, most of the emotional beating that the jobless take is self-administered condemnation. Says a former publishing company worker in her 30s, who was one of Maurer's subjects: "I was persuaded that I must be not only as bad as the company must have thought I was to fire me, but much worse than that. Probably the world's worst. Probably I didn't deserve to live. It doesn't simply take away your self-confidence. It destroys you." Elliot Liebow, chief of the Federal Government...
Throughout his career, Italian culture buzzed with manifestoes, claims and counterclaims. Before World War I, the Futurists tried to marshal art into a relentless machine-age spectacle.

Christopher Walken's face is a gigolo's death mask: the character lines have been ironed out, leaving only the dry-ice eyes and the knowing pout. As icons, these four performers would seem perfect for the bittersweet revisionism of this musical drama...
...field at Patrick's Point, though it now belongs to the state, is part of an ancient burial ground that was long a favorite target for hunters of Indian relics. Says Yurok Tribal Chairman Joy Sundberg, 49: "White people came through this area in the 1920s and '30s and took everything Indian they could get their hands on. Every college, every souvenir hunter wanted Indian artifacts. Back then there was no way to stop them. Now we can at least try to protect our ancestors...
