...pictures, and that limited her emotional range. She rarely giggled or shrieked; her voice suggested that she was either disdainful or incapable of severe highs and lows. She wasn't one to spit out rapid-fire dialogue, a vocal reticence that would have limited her roles even in a color-blind Hollywood. Saucy comedy, of the sort Jean Harlow personified, was out, as was the scalding, wiseacre melodrama, Barbara Stanwyck-style. Wong could flash a regal hauteur and, when called for, that sensuality. She could have played grand-dame roles of the sort essayed by Garbo - she certainly could match...
...Topkapi Palace Museum. Among several stunning carpets in the exhibition is a beautifully preserved woolen one from 13th century Konya. The carpet came from the mausoleum of the Anatolian Seljuk ruler Sultan Ala'al-Din Kay Qubad, who died in 1237, and is unique in its simple composition and color scheme. Simplicity was not an effect sought or achieved by the imperial architect Sinan, who designed the magnificent 16th century doors on display.

...psychologically adroit comics that are more concerned with superegos than superheroes. His next graphic novel, The Three Paradoxes, to be published in June by Fantagraphics Books, poses questions like: How do parents influence our lives? Can people change?

If other comics are easy chairs, his work offers the pleasure, and the pain, of reclining on a psychiatrist's couch...
After graduation, Hornschemeier began self- publishing a series of black- and-white experimental comics (recently compiled as The Collected Sequential). He soon began integrating color into his increasingly sophisticated works, and early last year he released his first graphic novel, Mother, Come Home, the story of a boy struggling to cope with his mother's death and his father's grief. The book, which features a bold visual design and a narrative that is by turns cerebral and heartfelt, set the tone for The Three Paradoxes. The artist says his main goal is "basically, just ask a lot of questions...
...elderly woman in Columbus, Neb., turned on her color TV set, tuned in the Tonight show, and settled back to watch Johnny Carson. "And now--here's Johnny!" called Announcer Ed McMahon as the star skipped onstage--fetchingly handsome, slat-thin, loose-limbed, and wrapped in a Continental-cut suit. "My name is Shirley Hoffnagel," he began with eyes laughing, "and I'm here to talk tonight about the wonderful progress that medical science has made in sex-change operations." The studio audience rollicked to that line, but the lady in Nebraska rose from her chair, muttering, "That...
