...that, the treasures retain the grandeur of mystery too. A wooden head of Tutankhamun, shown as the sun-god emerging from a lotus plant in daily rebirth, stares outward with a gaze that is as candid, guileless-and impenetrably secretive-as a cat's. Nearly every one of the 55 artworks seems a confident invocation of the idea of permanence. "To speak the names of the dead is to make them live again," said the ancient Egyptians. This superb show eloquently illustrates that point...
...also a haunting, overproduced birthday party for John F. Kennedy, where the tardy star is introduced as "the late Marilyn Monroe." Marilyn was the waif Shirley Temple pretended to be-except that her desperation, as L.G.T.T.M. shows, was all too real. That kind of realism is also shown in candid scenes of the "Hollywood Ten"-the first men to be blacklisted for leftist sympathies. A happier, realistic segment shows the early Academy Awards, presided over by a brash young newcomer named Bob Hope.

With that, the Democratic nominee opened himself to titillating ridicule, bluenose outrage and serious questions about his judgment: should a presidential candidate choose a public forum where he will share attention with busty "Miss November" and a blurb heralding "Much More Sex in Cinema"? The cover promotion for the Carter story: "Now, the Real Jimmy Carter on Politics, Religion, the Press...
...when clinicians for poor, especially black areas, are in seriously short supply. The notion that scientific knowledge given during the first two years of med school is more difficult for some blacks than it is for some whites may be true, and if so, then both sides should be candid about it. After all, if blacks are admitted from schools thought to be disadvantaged, or if the students are thought to be disadvantaged themselves, why should administrators expect that they should be on par with other students immediately...
