Arnulf Rainer, the man before the mirror, is a Viennese painter working under the influence of LSD. One of 34 artists who participated in a controlled experiment to test the effects of the drug on creative activity, Rainer was alternately amazed, disturbed and delighted to find himself turning his face into a self-portrait. The sequence is one of the most dramatic moments in a film titled The Artificial Paradises, which will be shown on West German television next week. The guiding genie behind the tests was Dr. Richard Hartmann, a Munich psychiatrist and art dealer, working in conjunction with...

What really troubles a woman about cigars is not their aroma but the look of contentment that drifts across a man's face when he lights one up. No meat loaf could ever do that, and she resents it. This informative breviary of cigarabilia-kinds, sizes, shapes, how to light up, etc.-by a Swiss cigar dealer is unlikely to lessen that resentment. Mainly for men with a sense of humidor...
...used to pick out for the audience what the director wishes them to see. In most theatres, if you can afford the twelve-dollar seats at the front, when watching any naturalistic play, you may be lucky enough to see the subtle changes in an actor's eyes, face, or body-but on the whole it will be more powerful in film or television where the close-up is available...
