...film this spring with Burt Lancaster. Renoir just visited New York City to preview a limited edition of 318 bronzes (initial asking price: $15,000 each) that went on sale last week after being cast from great-granddad's newly found terra-cotta bas-relief Woman with Tambourine HI. It is the final sculpture he is known to have done before his death in 1919. Renoir, who does not want to emulate the half-dressed woman posing in the bronzes, limits her movie roles to those that do not call for nudity. In France, she notes, wryly, "there aren...

Whatever its fortunes in 1984, the old liberalism has already begun a slow, inexorable fate. The future belongs to the neoliberals."

...Democrats were working feverishly to make sure they put on a ringing rather than a raucous show once the convention opens hi San Francisco next Monday night. For the first time in three decades they will not be assured gavel-to-gavel coverage on network TV. All three networks are abandoning their traditional formats for a mixture of live action and taped highlights in segments of varying length. On some nights, portions of the proceedings on one network may be competing against entertainment programming on another.
